Kubernetes Networking: How to monitor Kubernetes using synthetic testing

Kubernetes enables DevOps efficiency by streamlining application and service deployment and management. While this gives greater control, it also makes it harder to monitor the health of the applications and services. Synthetic monitoring simulates network conditions and user actions by running continuous tests from global locations before adverse conditions impact end users. What you’ll learn.

Using synthetics to get the big picture

Nobody actually cares about the network. Provocative words coming from a network visibility company, you might be thinking. However, consider what you’re doing right now. You’re reading a blog on a website, maybe clicking around other tabs, possibly streaming some music, and likely keeping an eye on your work chat. These are all applications, and that’s what we all truly care about, not the plumbing that delivers them.

The value of performance mesh testing for ISPs, CDNs, telcos and cloud service providers

As a network service provider, you want your customer to see that you consistently deliver excellent performance. You send your customers periodic reports — but those only provide a snapshot. With synthetic tests, you can present your customers with a dynamic report through a public web page, linkshare or a customer branded portal. Watch this webinar replay to learn how Kentik’s API can be used with network performance meshes in Kentik's synthetic monitoring solution to build a live latency report. Kentik’s Anil Murty and Martin Machacek will show you.
