A Hands-On Guide to Kubernetes Observability and Policy Troubleshooting with Calico Whisker
Free and open source observability for Kubernetes with Calico Whisker!
In the world of cloud-native applications, especially within Kubernetes, network security and troubleshooting can feel like navigating a maze. One common issue is the implementation of network policies. A seemingly simple default deny policy can bring down a production application if the correct exceptions are not put in place. This can lead to long troubleshooting times and potential security breaches. This workshop will show you how Calico Whisker simplifies the process of analyzing flow logs, enabling you to quickly identify and resolve policy-related network issues and saving you time and frustration.
Calico Whisker Highlights:
- Visualize flow logs and metrics
- New Ingress Gateway based on the Kubernetes Gateway API
- Advanced network policies, including staged network policies for testing
This guide is for platform engineers, cloud architects, DevOps, SREs, and decision-makers evaluating Calico eBPF and Cilium for Kubernetes networking and security.
