Kentik announced the general availability of Kentik Kube, designed to reveal how Kubernetes traffic routes through organizations’ data centers, clouds, and the internet.
Kentik Kube gives network, cloud, and infrastructure engineers detailed network traffic and performance visibility, both inside and among their Kubernetes clusters, so they can quickly detect and solve network problems, surface anomalies and compliance issues, and identify outliers related to network traffic costs.
Key benefits of Kentik Kube:
- Ensure Kubernetes performance: Discover which services and pods are experiencing network delays in order to troubleshoot and fix problems faster. Configure alert policies to proactively find high latency nodes, pods, workloads, or services.
- Optimize costs: Quickly detect traffic changes tied to new deployments or misconfigurations before egress, inter-region transfer, and gateway charges get out of control.
- Total Infrastructure Visibility: Know which pods were deployed on which nodes — even historically. See which pods and services are communicating with other clusters, non-Kubernetes infrastructure, or the Internet. Quickly detect top talkers. Identify Kubernetes clusters sending traffic to embargoed countries or unapproved external destinations.
“With Kentik Kube, Kubernetes is no longer a black box for network teams,” said Christoph Pfister, Chief Product Officer at Kentik. “Now enterprise infrastructure engineers can quickly understand Kubernetes traffic – from transit costs, to performance problems, to embargoed communications – and see how it flows through the internet and their entire hybrid network infrastructure.”
Kentik Kube collects metadata across Kubernetes pods, clusters, and services – combined with telemetry from a lightweight eBPF agent – for unparalleled breadth and depth of network observability. This dataset, coupled with Kentik’s advanced analytics engine, allows infrastructure and platform teams to move faster, reduce incident resolution times, and answer critical questions about the health and performance of their overall network.

For years, the success of DevOps has been measured by how much manual work teams can automate ... I believe that in 2026, the definition of DevOps success is going to expand significantly. The era of automation is giving way to the era of intelligent delivery, in which AI doesn't just accelerate pipelines, it understands them. With open observability connecting signals end-to-end across those tools, teams can build closed-loop systems that don't just move faster, but learn, adapt, and take action autonomously with confidence ...
The conversation around AI in the enterprise has officially shifted from "if" to "how fast." But according to the State of Network Operations 2026 report from Broadcom, most organizations are unknowingly building their AI strategies on sand. The data is clear: CIOs and network teams are putting the cart before the horse. AI cannot improve what the network cannot see, predict issues without historical context, automate processes that aren't standardized, or recommend fixes when the underlying telemetry is incomplete. If AI is the brain, then network observability is the nervous system that makes intelligent action possible ...
SolarWinds data shows that one in three DBAs are contemplating leaving their positions — a striking indicator of workforce pressure in this role. This is likely due to the technical and interpersonal frustrations plaguing today's DBAs. Hybrid IT environments provide widespread organizational benefits but also present growing complexity. Simultaneously, AI presents a paradox of benefits and pain points ...
Over the last year, we've seen enterprises stop treating AI as “special projects.” It is no longer confined to pilots or side experiments. AI is now embedded in production, shaping decisions, powering new business models, and changing how employees and customers experience work every day. So, the debate of "should we adopt AI" is settled. The real question is how quickly and how deeply it can be applied ...

My latest title for O'Reilly, The Rise of Logical Data Management, was an eye-opener for me. I'd never heard of "logical data management," even though it's been around for several years, but it makes some extraordinary promises, like the ability to manage data without having to first move it into a consolidated repository, which changes everything. Now, with the demands of AI and other modern use cases, logical data management is on the rise, so it's "new" to many. Here, I'd like to introduce you to it and explain how it works ...
