Today, we’re announcing new network observability features in Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) that provide deeper insights into your container networking environment. These new capabilities help you better understand, monitor, and troubleshoot your Kubernetes network landscape in AWS.
Customers are increasingly deploying microservices to expand and incrementally innovate with software in the AWS cloud, while using Amazon EKS as the underlying platform to run their applications. With enhanced container network observability, customers can leverage granular, network-related metrics for better proactive anomaly detection across cluster traffic, cross-AZ flows, and AWS services. Using these metrics, customers can better measure system performance and visualize the underlying metrics using their preferred observability stack.
Additionally, EKS now provides network monitoring visualizations in the AWS console that accelerate and enhance precise troubleshooting for faster root cause analysis. Customers can also leverage these visual capabilities to pinpoint top-talkers and network flows causing retransmissions and retransmission timeouts, eliminating blind spots during incidents. These network monitoring features in EKS are powered by Amazon CloudWatch Network Flow Monitor.
Enhanced container network observability for EKS is available in all commercial AWS Regions where CloudWatch Network Flow Monitor is available. To learn more, visit the Amazon EKS documentation and AWS News Launch Blog.
