Why enable Full-Stack Kubernetes Visibility and How?

While a new enthusiastic world has emerged that is hungry to scale infrastructure on Kubernetes, it is getting increasingly difficult for IT teams to monitor application behavior, performance, and health of the application to spot problems before they negatively affect the end-user experience and the company's perception. This is because the technology landscape of the Kubernetes Ecosystem and the Engineering practices are becoming increasingly complicated.

Traditional, domain-centric monitoring solutions simply cannot give DevOps and SRE Engineers the complete picture of the application ecosystem they need. It is because they were not designed for a higher degree of diversity and agility. The complexity is only going to increase from here.

Every Business Logic starts with capacity planning, but as the system grows at the scale, it is more important to understand how it will impact Kubernetes adoption. This technology decision is going to make a lot of impact on how we are going to scale in real-time.

How can businesses close the visibility gap between correlating all the real-time data getting generated from their application delivery chain to an outcome? Let's introduce Full-Stack Kubernetes Visibility.

What is a Full-stack Kubernetes Visibility?

Real-time Kubernetes visibility throughout an entire technological stack, including applications, software-defined computing, storage, services, and networks, is known as Full-Stack Kubernetes Visibility. Utilizing high-fidelity telemetry (also known as metrics, events, logs, and traces, or MELT) gathered from an organization's complete IT Infrastructure gives businesses comprehensive visibility into the behavior, performance, and general health of their application and supporting infrastructure.

IT teams can gain a thorough understanding of the dependencies and topologies of their massively distributed application stacks through Full-Stack Kubernetes Visibility. They can readily access, browse, search, and analyze a vast amount of data, and they can link the effectiveness of applications to business results.

Why do I need Full-Stack Kubernetes visibility for my business?

Technologists worldwide are becoming further interested in Kubernetes Visibility as they struggle to control the rising IT complexity while successfully delivering innovation at scale in this digital-first era. On the surface, it's simple to claim that the reason for its rising popularity is that it enables you to provide top-notch experiences for your clients and staff, but let's delve a little deeper.

Deepen your understanding of application ecosystem

To better understand an application's behavior, performance, and health, Full-Stack Kubernetes Visibility closes gaps in understanding the vast data points and gives IT teams complete insight across all the components, dependencies (including that outside of their control plane), and performance indicators. This 360-degree visibility helps you track additional information about the application's health and gives you insights on how tone can scale for performance and optimization.

Dissolve organizational silos and better coordinate with your IT staff.

Continuous application and Cloud modernization widen this gap by placing domain-centric, divergent DevOps tools in the hands of workers that support the application delivery chain. Full-stack Kubernetes Visibility unifies IT teams around a common context, removing blame, lowering MTTI (Mean Time to Identify)/ MTTR (Mean Time to Resolve), and decreasing application downtime.

The Digital revolution is occurring at an unprecedented rate, and technologists are working overtime to put new ideas into practice on previously unthinkable timelines. Projects that once took a year or longer now go online in months or weeks.

Businesses are utilizing a vast web of legacy components, third-party services, and application programming interfaces while embracing cloud-native technologies, micro-services, and containerized components on a big scale to enable this rapid development life cycle (APIs) on Kubernetes today.

Priortize concerns according to their impact on users and the business

Additionally, operational silos make it very challenging for IT teams to recognize when and how a problem negatively affects the user experience and the business. Full-stack Kubernetes Visibility prioritizes what issues to fix first, what to rebuild in the CI/CD, what to optimize to maintain customer loyalty, and how to increase revenue by linking the right application performance to outcomes.

Actively identify and fix issues before they have an impact on performance

The limited response time provided by traditional monitoring solutions forces IT, staff to quickly locate and fix issues before they have an impact on end users' performance. They can adopt a proactive approach to tracking and diagnosing issues up front and fixing them without customers or staff members ever knowing. This is made possible by Full-stack Kubernetes Visibility.

Optimize the cost and efficiency for your infrastructure

It is challenging to estimate with any degree of accuracy how much processing, storage, and network resources application components will be needed and when they will need, especially if a business has seasonal changes. Full-stack Kubernetes Visibility gives InfraOps/ Kubernetes Managers teams the capability to instantly simulate “what-if scenarios”, and precisely forecast capacity. This allows the “Ops Team” to allocate appropriate resources in real-time, enabling them to take preventative action and save infrastructure costs while maximizing performance.

Adapt your technological choices to your business needs.

The core of many businesses is their software applications. However, the IT and business teams frequently make key choices in isolation. Full-stack Kubernetes Visibility includes all parties and links application performance to results so that parties can collaborate and decide what is most important.

Improve the way you handle application security.

Applications are now more susceptible to security attacks as the technology stack is getting sophisticated and unpredictable. The consequences of a data breach can be catastrophic. Full-stack Kubernetes Visibility unites AppOps and SecOps teams to identify and fix vulnerabilities in seconds instead of weeks, safeguarding the company's reputation and bottom line.
