NEW! Kentik Kube – The Turbo Boost for Your Kubernetes Performance!
Kentik Kube is an industry-leading solution that provides insights into the network behavior of Kubernetes workloads and visualizes traffic paths between containers across data centers, public clouds, and the internet.
Revolutionize Your Kubernetes Network Observability!
Today’s enterprises operate in a complex environment, using multiple Kubernetes variants such as AWS EKS, Google Cloud GKE, Microsoft Azure AKS, and numerous other private and public cloud orchestration platforms. While this diversity gives teams greater autonomy, it also introduces significant complexity.
Kentik Kube ensures optimal Kubernetes performance by enabling teams to quickly identify services and pods affected by network anomalies or latency issues, allowing for faster and more efficient issue resolution. With configurable alert policies, teams can proactively address high latency across nodes, pods, workloads, or services. All traffic data in Kentik, including K8s traffic analysis from Kentik Kube, is automatically enriched with key business and security metadata, providing valuable context to your telemetry.
Kentik Kube not only examines individual applications but also reveals the bigger picture of how applications and shared services interact and how communication across infrastructure boundaries impacts cost and performance.
Too often, traffic within Kubernetes remains a “black box.” Kentik Kube’s comprehensive network visibility brings clarity where it’s needed most. Learn more in the Solution Brief.

Network Observability for Cloud and Internet-Centric Enterprise Backbones
While networks were mostly focused on connecting their own data centers and locations via private infrastructure, today’s enterprise networks must focus more on cloud/hyperscaler and internet connections. This transformation requires new technologies and architectures, as well as operating concepts and services. On the other hand, existing classic network infrastructures must also continue to be supported. So how Can a Modern Enterprise Backbone be Operated Effectively and Stably?
