Visualizing Kubernetes Traffic
Kentik Labs is a community hub developed by the team at Kentik.com. At our core, we are the data-dreaming network nerds who built an observability platform that makes much of the internet go.

In plain words
Visualizing Kubernetes Traffic is a development tool that helps engineers understand and monitor network traffic within Kubernetes clusters. It provides visual representations of how data flows between services and components in containerized environments. The tool is designed for developers and operations teams working with Kubernetes who need clearer insights into their cluster's communication patterns and potential bottlenecks.

Kubernetes has taken the container orchestration world by storm. It makes the complex task of multi-tenet application and service deployment easier and more accessible to teams. But underneath is a non-trivial set of components that must be configured and tuned to operate smoothly. Container networking can be complex and management of a container network is vital to application health. Using the Container Network Interface that provides a framework for interfacing network providers with pod networking, containers can communicate using a variety of methods including VXLAN or BGP. As application density increases, so does the complexity of identifying what network resources are being…from kentiklabs.com

Visualize Kubernetes Clusters2023 · github.com · ▲7A lot of Kubernetes observability projects require very invasive deployments. My team was looking for something more lightweight and non-invasive, so we built the network mapper, an open source project which uses DNS traffic to map service traffic within Kubernetes clusters. We’ve just added a CLI that creates a graphical map of your cluster using graphviz: otterize network-mapper visualize. I’m curious to learn: Is such a map valuable to you? How would you use the information? Do you already have a map of your cluster, and was it difficult to acquire?

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
