Global Metrics and Visibility

Operational monitoring across deployments

• What happens where?

  • Insight into Kubernetes deployments is often strongly tied to the underlying infrastructure.
  • Moving workloads from one deployment to the other might lead to changed metrics and visibility.
  • Insights across deployments vary in quality and quantity with different metrics, making it difficult to gain a holistic view across all deployments.

• One data plane to watch them all

  • Cilium as CNI supported in AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, on OpenShift, VMware, and others.
  • As one data plane in all deployments, metrics can be aligned across all deployments.
  • Insight into individual cluster health data, cluster mesh health, encryption errors, policy statistics, Kubernetes events, API rate limiting, and more.

Visibility across clouds, clusters, and premises

• Providing cluster health metrics independent of the underlying infrastructure.
• Streamlining cluster monitoring.
• Simplifying workload migration between clusters.
• Easier onboarding of new infrastructure providers due to common data plane across all deployments.

Choosing Cloud Native Technologies for the Journey to Multi-cloud

Building, deploying and maintaining systems has become increasingly more complicated in recent years.

This talk discusses the cloud native technologies that can be used to convert to a multi-cloud architecture and highlights some of the lessons learned from taking this journey on at Form3.

The audience will learn:

• How to decide if multi-cloud is essential for them
• The fundamentals of deploying services across multiple clouds with Kubernetes
• How to leverage Cilium to mesh together multiple clusters
• Much more!

This talk is useful for any new comers to the cloud native landscape, as well as those curious about going multi-cloud!
