How to Bring Shadow Kubernetes IT into the Light

Shadow IT continues to be a challenge for IT leaders, but perhaps not in the sense that companies have seen in the past. Traditionally, shadow IT occurs within the application stack, which creates problems because the use of IT systems occurs without the approval, or even knowledge, of the corporate IT department.

Kubernetes Monitoring with Prometheus

Kubernetes monitoring is the process of gathering metrics from the Kubernetes clusters you operate to identify critical events and ensure that all hardware, software, and applications are operating as expected. Monitoring is essential to provide insight into cluster health, resource consumption, and workload performance.
