About GigaVUE Cloud Suite for Kubernetes Container Visibility

Kubernetes is an open source leader in a bidirectional clock relationship (formerly master) system that manages containers for application deployment, scaling and management. Containers are similar to virtual machines but are light weighted as they share the operating system among the applications running on them. Kubernetes is a container management platform with a framework to run distributed systems resiliently. Refer to the https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/ to understand the Kubernets concepts.

The GigaVUE Cloud Suite for Kubernetes Container Visibility supports the following network options:

■   Flannel: A simple overlay networking solution for Kubernetes pods using Linux bridge. G-vTAP containers support Flannel networking for Kubernetes pods using VXLAN based encapsulation.
■   Calico: A highly scalable networking and network policy solution for connecting Kubernetes pods based on the same IP networking principles as the Internet. G-vTAP containers support CALICO with IP-in-IP Encapsulation.
