| Figure 2: Real-Time visualization of telemetry from a Kubernetes node provides a quick overview of resource utilization on the host as well as resources consumed by the pods and containers. The user defined Labels make is easy to capture namespaces, and other metadata. |
Additional subsystems are the Policy Controller and Analytics. The Policy Controller manages policies for resource monitoring, analysis, and control. It also provides role-based access control. The Analytics modules analyze metrics and events produced by Data Platform, enabling correlation across multiple elements to provide higher-level information to operators and developers. The Analytics modules may also configure policies in Policy Controller in response to conditions in the infrastructure.
AppFormix organizes elements of cloud infrastructure around hosts and instances (either containers or virtual machines), and logical groups of such elements. AppFormix integrates with cloud platforms using Adapter modules that discover the physical and virtual elements in the environment and configure those elements into the Policy Controller.
