Instana announced new observability features for Red Hat OpenShift and CoreOS Container Application Platforms, including the ability to monitor and understand the relationship between these platforms and application performance.

Red Hat OpenShift and CoreOS Tectonic are both commercial implementations of the open-source Kubernetes Container Orchestration System providing additional capabilities. Instana has extended their new Kubernetes monitoring capabilities to provide complete tectonic and OpenShift Monitoring.

“As more organizations adopt containers and orchestration platforms, they’ll need additional services beyond scheduling and deployment,” said Mirko Novakovic, CEO of Instana. “Between the additional security services of OpenShift and the integrated performance monitoring of Instana, orchestrated microservice applications are now more manageable.”

Instana’s new Kubernetes monitoring features extend the company’s AI-powered APM solution to automatically discover, monitor and analyze standard Kubernetes labels, clusters and pods in addition to the orchestrated application, itself. This provides unmatched OpenShift system visibility, contributing additional information to Instana’s AI-assisted monitoring and troubleshooting algorithms, which gives users absolute holistic observability and relational understanding between their orchestrators and applications performance.

Kubernetes and OpenShift allow IT Ops teams to rapidly respond and adjust to changes in application layouts. New Kubernetes-specific information from Instana helps improve software delivery cycle times by providing insight into container change events. Instana provides precise real-time visibility and AI-powered understanding of what is happening across both the application and the Kubernetes / OpenShift / Tectonic environment. This comprehensive observability enables automatic analysis of the performance of any and all microservices in real time.

Instana’s APM solution enables IT organizations to deliver services and applications more quickly and efficiently by automating the management of business-critical applications in containerized environments. The company’s solution leverages automation and AI to automatically monitor, visualize and understand application performance for dynamic containerized microservice applications. Continuous discovery and mapping provides real-time infrastructure and application service visualization, even under constant change.

Instana’s new Kubernetes monitoring technology automatically discovers and monitors the OpenShift stack, using tagging metadata to automatically model and monitor the services and applications running in OpenShift. With this announcement, Instana is extending the containerized microservice solution’s automation, AI and real-time visualization to managed OpenShift environments.

The new OpenShift monitoring features are available now .
