10 Kubernetes Monitoring Tools You Can't-Miss in 2025

Monitoring a Kubernetes cluster isn’t just about keeping an eye on CPU and memory usage. It’s about understanding system health, detecting anomalies before they cause outages, and ensuring applications run smoothly. With so many tools available, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. This guide covers the best Kubernetes monitoring tools, their use cases, and key factors to consider.

Kubernetes Vs. Docker Vs. OpenShift: Understanding Their Roles And Differences

Containers are a big deal today. They are software units that contain all the code, runtime, and dependencies required to run a distributed application. Thus, containers help engineers test and run apps without compatibility issues on any device and platform. Organizations can use containers to reduce engineering costs, speed up deployments, develop and test AI models, and automate more processes. You probably want those benefits as well.

Top 7 Platforms for Ephemeral Environments (September 2024 Edition)

In the ever-evolving software development landscape, ephemeral environments are short-lived, automated setups used for testing, staging, or development. These environments exist only temporarily-created when necessary and destroyed afterward-allowing developers to work in isolation without impacting others. Ephemeral environments are crucial for efficient, conflict-free development, accelerating time-to-market, and enhancing team collaboration. As businesses increasingly adopt agile development practices, platforms for ephemeral environments are growing in demand.

All you need to know about Horizontal Pod Autoscaling in Kubernetes

For most organizations, Kubernetes is the preferred containerization platform thanks to its scaling capabilities. Scaling is more than a mere technical endeavor—it helps maintain reliability, efficiency, and smooth user experiences while handling huge data without any business disruptions. It also aids in reducing business expenditures by cutting down on manual labor and avoiding deployment failures.

Kubernetes cluster metrics 101

Kubernetes clusters facilitate the management of containerized applications. Imagine coordinating a seamless flow of workloads across servers, ensuring they operate in harmony, regardless of scale. This is exactly what Kubernetes clusters can do for the smooth deployment of your applications. Read on to learn more about Kubernetes clusters, including how to manage them using our list of critical metrics.

DeepSeek vs Llama vs GPT-4 - Open-Source AI models compared

Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept—it is shaping how businesses operate, how researchers innovate, and how people interact with technology. Models like DeepSeek-R1 , a promising new entrant, alongside established players such as Llama 3 and GPT-4o, are at the forefront of this transformation. These tools are not just about technological advancement; they are about solving real-world problems and driving meaningful progress.

Managing External-DNS & cert-manager with Komodor

Recently we’ve explored the evolving role of Kubernetes as a full ecosystem, rather than just a platform, diving into the power and complexity of add-ons. These tools, as highlighted previously, are key to augmenting Kubernetes core capabilities, and adding-on (as their name implies) essential capabilities not supported directly by Kubernetes itself.

Pod Exec in K8s: Advanced Exec Scenarios and Best Practices

Remember using SSH to access servers? It was the go-to method for troubleshooting or making changes to a system. But in the world of containers, SSH doesn't quite fit. Kubernetes and containers work differently; they're dynamic and spun up and down frequently. That’s where kubectl exec comes in. It lets you run commands inside a pod directly, without needing to rely on SSH or worry about the pod being ephemeral. It’s simple and fits the nature of modern, containerized environments.

Kubernetes Pods vs Nodes: What Sets Them Apart

Kubernetes has revolutionized how we manage containerized applications, bringing scalability, reliability, and flexibility to the forefront. Two fundamental components of Kubernetes are Pods and Nodes, and understanding their differences is crucial for anyone working with Kubernetes clusters. While most people are familiar with these terms, a deeper dive into the specifics can help you optimize your Kubernetes setup and avoid common pitfalls.

A critical look at the UK Government's AI opportunities action plan

The UK government’s recently announced AI Opportunities Action Plan marks an ambitious step forward in harnessing artificial intelligence to drive economic growth and societal progress. As the CEO of Civo, a UK-founded company committed to reimagining the cloud with sustainability, innovation, and sovereignty at its core, I welcome this bold vision.
