Taking inspiration from the vibrant Kubernetes community, we came forward with an open source tool to help visualize Kubernetes clusters down to the container level. Current available tooling for Kubernetes only enables resource visualization at the pod level. Traditionally, the standard practice of having one container per pod works well as it lends to better portability. When the application scales, containers become interdependent, thus the need arises to track its resource exertion.Usually to access visualization tools, a proxy is used to open a port in the host machine so only the host has access to these monitoring tools. By containerizing the application, we are able to provide access to the visualization by injecting it into the cluster and deploying it as a service so that anyone can safely access this data even outside of the Kubernetes administrator network. Allok8 is currently in beta release. We love feedback and encourage requests for any bugs or idea enhancements. Also feel free to fork the repo and submit pull requests to contribute as well. ~
