Kubernetes has become the cloud-native standard. However, it is a complex technology, and companies are still struggling to use it properly and effectively. Adding engineers is one way to solve the problem but doesn’t always address performance problems. When IT doesn’t have visibility into Kubernetes performance, optimal performance and cost containment are hard to achieve. Automation is key to optimizing performance.
The report on digital experience monitoring (DEM) is based on a survey of 22 leading DEM vendors, addressing user experience monitoring for cloud and software as a service (SaaS), and the importance of real-time traffic intelligence provided by DPI. Evaluation criteria includes:
- Key factors influencing the adoption of DEM
- Techniques used in DEM, namely STM and RUM
- DEM metrics and corresponding data requirements
- Role of DPI in DEM
- Integration of DPI in today’s DEM tools
By using deep packet inspection (DPI) technology, APM tools are able to go beyond the usual simple network management protocol (SNMP) and flow-based traffic monitoring to detect performance issues. DPI is a technique for monitoring network and application traffic at packet level. Using response time metrics for packets sent between clients and servers, enterprise administrators can regulate traffic flows and differentiate between network and application issues. This whitepaper uncovers the need for application awareness and detailed traffic analytics to enhance application performance monitoring and discusses why DPI is crucial for achieving an up-to-date overview of system traffic, determining root causes of performance issues, detecting inappropriate traffic and security risks, and reacting to network slowdowns (which often remain undetected) before they impact end users.
