Components of Kubernetes Cluster
First and foremost, it is important to understand the different components that make up a Kubernetes cluster and how they can be monitored. The main components of a Kubernetes cluster include:
- Nodes: These are the physical or virtual machines that host the containers running in a Kubernetes cluster. It is important to monitor the resources (e.g., CPU, memory, disk) of nodes to ensure that they have sufficient capacity to run the containers.
- Pods: These are the basic building blocks of Kubernetes, representing a single container or group of containers that are deployed together on a node. It is important to monitor the resource usage of pods to ensure that they are not overloading the node.
- Services: These are logical groups of pods that provide a single point of access for external clients. It is important to monitor the availability and performance of services to ensure that they are functioning properly.
- Deployments: These are objects that manage the deployment of pods in a Kubernetes cluster. It is important to monitor the status of deployments to ensure that the desired number of replicas is running and that they are healthy.
Kubernetes – Monitoring
Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration system that allows developers to deploy and manage containerized applications at scale. One important aspect of running applications in Kubernetes is monitoring their performance and availability. In this article, we will explore some of the best practices for monitoring applications in Kubernetes.
