Since its release 5 years ago, Kubernetes adoption has exploded. It’s easy to understand why. Kubernetes helps organizations significantly ease and speed application development. But Kubernetes can be challenging to work with. Managing a cluster production is difficult, the ecosystem is constantly changing, and best practices are continually evolving. As a result, Kubernetes monitoring is also complicated.

In one of our recent posts, we provided insights on how companies can move from traditional, basic infrastructure monitoring to more advanced monitoring. For many companies, basic monitoring and alerting is just not enough anymore. Staying competitive by deploying new features faster while providing the seamless experiences customers expect requires a more sophisticated monitoring analytics strategy.

The world of DevOps is a constant push and pull. There’s pressure to deploy faster, yet performance is expected to be perfect all of the time. The founders of Circonus lived these expectations and know the struggle all too well. They felt the pain to quickly develop new features, but also understood how hard it is to fix something when it breaks.

After careful design and development with real-life input from our clients and beta testing with major organizations such as Major League Baseball, we announced this past spring the release of our new Kubernetes monitoring solution. Now, we’re excited to share that organizations can sign up for a free, no commitment 45-day trial of our Kubernetes monitoring solution. It’s simple. The solution installs in minutes, and turnkey health and performance dashboards instantly auto-populate.
