It’s easy to understand why so many organizations are embracing containerized workloads. They offer ease of portability, higher densities per server, lightweight design with less memory demands, plus accelerated app modifications, bug fixing and deployment.
However, with every application involving potentially hundreds of widely dispersed microservices, you need visibility into this burgeoning environment.
Now you can make hidden Docker-based container pods managed by Kubernetes visible:
GigaVUE® Cloud Suite for Kubernetes — a containerized tapping solution for container-based applications that acquires network traffic from all pods in a Docker-based deployment managed by Kubernetes with either Flannel or Calico network overlays — enables security and network monitoring tools to have full visibility into container environments.
You’ll get all this and more:
For Docker containers with Kubernetes, the Kubernetes Master works with GigaVUE-FM fabric manager via APIs to deploy a lightweight, agentless Docker container (G-vTAP Container) without the need for special software, kernel modules or application redesigns.
These pods reside on monitored servers and selectively mirror traffic based on containerized workloads, leveraging either Flannel or Calico as the network overlay within the worker nodes. They partially process traffic and send to a central aggregation GigaVUE V Series (or GigaVUE HC Series appliance) and subsequently to security and monitoring tools.
Aggregation GigaVUE V Series are provisioned on VMs, leveraging Open vSwitch to communicate within the same server, and apply GigaSMART processing. These virtualized visibility nodes use Gigamon Flow Mapping® technology to direct traffic to the various user-designated tools. Gigamon-FM:
With GigaVUE Cloud Suite for Kubernetes, you gain the deep visibility you need to achieve superior security and enhanced performance, while empowering your management team with integrated, certified tool suites. The solution lets you:
