The use of Kubernetes (K8s), which helps efficiently operate applications and optimize resources across various cloud environments, is continuously increasing. According to Gartner, the Kubernetes market size is expected to reach approximately 1.2 trillion KRW this year.
However, operational difficulties due to the complexity of the Kubernetes architecture still exist. For example, unexpected issues can arise when managing interdependencies among various microservices and containers, and implementing features such as auto-scaling can lead to increased costs due to excessive resource usage.
Therefore, professional Kubernetes monitoring solutions that manage the complexity of Kubernetes operations and quickly respond to unexpected problems are receiving significant attention. A representative example is 'Zenius K8s' by Brains Company (CEO Kang Seon-geun), a company specializing in IT infrastructure monitoring.
Zenius K8s has the advantage of monitoring all resources that make up Kubernetes, including clusters, nodes, pods, and containers. Additionally, it is praised for enhancing operational efficiency even in complex environments by securing stability through real-time log views and utilizing various automated and visualized summary views.
This year, a representative from N Home Shopping, which has adopted and is utilizing Zenius K8s, stated, "After building a Kubernetes environment to stably manage the traffic surge during specific periods, we faced difficulties in efficient management. However, through Zenius K8s, we have been able to monitor Kubernetes components, status, and resource usage in real time. Especially, the ability to smoothly manage thousands of pods is the most satisfying aspect." Besides N Home Shopping, S Semiconductor and other public institutions that have migrated to the cloud and operate Kubernetes are also using Zenius K8s.
Another strength of Zenius K8s is its seamless integration with other IT infrastructure monitoring solutions.
Jo Young-su, Director in charge of technical support at Brains Company, commented, “Integrating Kubernetes monitoring solutions like Zenius K8s with monitoring tools such as Zenius APM, DBMS, and SDN is essential to securing in-depth visibility of the entire infrastructure and systematically managing interdependencies between systems. This integration enables rapid and accurate detection and response to issues that may arise in complex infrastructures, maximizing operational automation and efficiency. Furthermore, the unified alert system and reporting framework play a crucial role in maintaining management consistency and optimizing operational costs, which is why many companies are considering adoption.”
