Fairwinds Insights
Protect and optimize mission-critical Kubernetes apps. Fairwinds Insights, a Kubernetes configuration validation tool, monitors your Kubernetes containers and recommends improvements. The software integrates trusted open-source tools, toolchain integrations and SRE expertise, based on hundreds successful Kubernetes deployments. The need to balance the speed of engineering and the reactive pace of security can lead to messy Kubernetes configurations, as well as unnecessary risk. It can take engineering time to adjust CPU or memory settings. This can lead to over-provisioning of data centers capacity or cloud compute. While traditional monitoring tools are important, they don't offer everything necessary to identify and prevent changes that could affect Kubernetes workloads.
