Though K8s dramatically simplifies application deployment in containers and across clouds, it adds a new set of complexities for managing, securing and troubleshooting applications. Container-based applications are dynamic and they are being designed using microservices, where the number of components is increased by an order of magnitude. To ensure K8s security, it requires self-configuration that is typically specified in code, whether (K8s) yaml manifests, Helm charts, or templating tools. Properly configuring for workloads, clusters, networks, and infrastructure is crucial for averting issues and limiting the impact if a breach occurs. Dynamic provisioning via Infrastructure as Code (IaC), automated configuration management and orchestration also add to monitoring and troubleshooting complexity. K8s monitoring is critical to managing application performance, service uptime and troubleshooting. Having a good monitoring tool is becoming essential for K8s monitoring.
