Kubernetes Diagrams, Inventory & Search

Kubernetes, often referred to as K8s, is an open-source system that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

If you've ever managed an application composed of multiple microservices or dealt with the complexities of cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes can be a game-changer.

At its heart, Kubernetes consists of several key components:

• Pods: These are the smallest, most basic deployable units in Kubernetes, which can contain one or more containers. They bundle applications and their dependencies together.
• Services: Services are policies that dictate network traffic rules and allow your applications to communicate with each other or the outside world.
• Volumes: Volumes take care of data persistence, allowing data to survive container restarts.
• Namespaces: These allow you to separate resources into distinct groups for better organization and security.
• Deployment: Deployment ensures the desired number of Pods are always up and running, managing the lifecycle of Pods to provide updates and rollbacks without any downtime.

So, why would you need Kubernetes? Here are a few key benefits:

• Scalability: Kubernetes can easily manage and scale your applications based on the needs of your workload, reducing the costs associated with over-provisioning.
• Portability: Kubernetes allows you to run your applications anywhere without having to change your operational code. Whether on-premises, in the public cloud, or in a hybrid environment, Kubernetes has you covered.
• Efficiency: By grouping together application containers into Pods, Kubernetes maximizes resource usage, helping you get the most out of your hardware.
• Resiliency: Kubernetes ensures that your applications are always available to your users. It continually checks the health of your applications to detect and replace instances that are not responsive.
• Automated Rollouts & Rollbacks: With Kubernetes, you can update your application or roll back to a previous version effortlessly, ensuring continuous delivery and reducing downtime.

Hyperglance makes Kubernetes even more user-friendly by offering comprehensive visualization and control of your Kubernetes environments.

So, let Kubernetes take the hard work out of managing your applications, and let Hyperglance help you see the bigger picture.

Modern Kubernetes architecture diagrams allow you to get a better understanding of how the platform manages and orchestrates containers, ensures load balancing, maintains storage, handles networking, and keeps the overall system resilient and scalable.

Hyperglance connects to the AWS, Azure, or Kubernetes APIs, never directly accessing your resources.

Hyperglance uses that data to create a complete dependency model and a real-time, interactive cloud diagram, overlaying metadata including, attributes, security group data, load balancer data, route tables, alarms and metrics. The end result is a searchable, automated, infrastructure diagram with customizable capabilities.
