Komodor announced a new version of the Komodor platform that extends its existing Kubernetes management capabilities to support the full ecosystem of K8 add-ons (including popular CRDs and operators).
Komodor now enables Platform Engineering teams and developers to visualize, operate, detect, investigate, remediate and optimize all the components in Kubernetes clusters including workloads, native resources and its complex ecosystem of add-ons.
Komodor centralizes and automates the daily operation, health management and troubleshooting of issues associated with add-ons along with native Kubernetes resources, to prevent cascading failures, latency, and performance degradation and enhance long-term reliability.
One example is cert-manager (the leading certificate manager add-on), which is present in virtually every Kubernetes environment. When misconfigured, certificates can expire unnoticed, leading to application outages. Komodor’s automated detection and root cause analysis not only identifies these issues before they can impact operations, but also provides a clear path to remediation, saving hours of manual troubleshooting and avoiding downtime.
“Kubernetes has evolved from a container orchestration platform into a sprawling ecosystem that requires a multitude of add-ons—ranging from autoscaling and security to storage and networking—to meet modern operational demands,” said Itiel Shwartz, Co-Founder & CTO of Komodor. “Managing these essential add-ons can be cumbersome, and misconfigurations often lead to significant downtime or reliability risks. Komodor gives teams a powerful and automated way to handle add-ons so they add functionality but do not introduce operational headaches.”
Komodor now provides full-stack management of Kubernetes clusters including workloads, native resources as well as its ecosystem of add-ons. The Komodor platform automates visibility, health management, investigation, operations and cost optimization to maintain reliability, availability and resilience of applications. The new capabilities include:
- Centralized Visibility & Management: Komodor provides a central console for visibility and control over all Kubernetes add-ons. This single pane of glass simplifies daily operations and enables DevOps engineers to understand how each add-on interacts with other assets in their environment.
- Proactive Risk Discovery & Automated Troubleshooting: Using Komodor’s proprietary technology and AI-driven root cause analysis, the new capabilities provide out-of-the-box detection of pending issues before they impact operations with real-time alerts and actionable insights. Whether it's a misconfigured cert-manager causing certificate renewal failures or a failing autoscaler, Komodor rapidly pinpoints the root cause of issues and offers intuitive, automated remediation playbooks.
- Reduced Operational Complexity: By automating the root cause analysis of issues, Komodor reduces the complexity associated with manually maintaining multiple add-ons, shortens mean time to repair (MTTR), and enables developers to fix problems on their own.
The Komodor platform with full-stack management capabilities for Kubernetes and its add-ons ecosystem is available immediately from Komodor and its business partners worldwide.
