Buoyant Cloud, a component of Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd, addresses security, reliability, and observability gaps in Kubernetes environments by securing and monitoring communications between workloads. It proactively alerts users to potential issues, such as unauthorized traffic and necessary updates, enhancing the overall health of Linkerd deployments. Datadog has integrated Buoyant Cloud into its platform, allowing organizations to monitor Linkerd workload traffic, rollout events, and metrics alongside other telemetry data. This integration provides a unified view of system events and metrics, aiding in troubleshooting and security management. Users can visualize real-time and historical metrics, facilitating the identification of performance issues and security threats, such as brute-force attacks, enabling swift action to mitigate risks. The collaboration between Datadog and Buoyant Cloud empowers teams to automate security best practices and improve network performance management, ultimately reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR) and ensuring application performance and security.
