We see these DevOps teams unifying logs, metrics, and traces into systems that can answer critical questions to support great operations and improved revenue flow. Traditional WAN : WAN access switches, integrated services routers, cloud access routers. Application layer : ADCs, load balancers and service meshes.

Kentik customers move workloads to (and from) multiple clouds, integrate existing hybrid applications with new cloud services, migrate to Virtual WAN to secure private network traffic, and make on-premises data and applications redundant to multiple clouds – or cloud data and applications redundant to the data center.

When evaluating solutions, whether to internal problems or those of our customers, I like to keep the core metrics fairly simple: will this reduce costs, increase performance, or improve the network’s reliability? It’s often taken for granted by network specialists that there is a trade-off among these three facets. Resiliency.

Traditional network monitoring relies on telemetry sources such as Simple Network Messaging Protocol (SNMP), sFlow, NetFlow, CPU, memory, and other device-specific metrics. With so many network boundaries being navigated (application, service, cloud providers, subnets, SD-WANs , etc.), What is network telemetry?

As these applications scale, and engineering for reliability comes into the forefront, DevOps engineers begin to rely on networking concepts like load balancing, auto-scaling, traffic management, and network security. DevOps and NetOps need to work together Collaboration is often a two-way street.

Only then can we pinpoint why one of our data center ToR switches is overwhelmed with unexpected traffic, why our line of business application is experiencing latency over the SD-WAN, why an OSPF adjacency is flapping, or why our SaaS app performance is terrible despite having a ton of available bandwidth.

For example, to determine latency using traffic generated from probes or by analyzing packets, that traffic would likely pass through routers, firewalls, security appliances, load balancers, etc. Using a synthetic test, we can capture the metrics for each component of that interaction from layer 3 to the application layer itself.
