InfluxData has released a new version that introduces industry-first functionality for Kubernetes (K8s) and Prometheus, enabling developers to scale containers based on any metric generated by K8s and collected with InfluxData. This allows for more efficient control and utilization of resources, as well as greater business flexibility and ROI. The new release also supports Prometheus' standard exposition format, adding service discovery and scraping capabilities to Kapacitor, InfluxData's real-time streaming data processing engine, and metric read/write interoperability into InfluxDB. This enables seamless integration with existing systems and support for more complex use cases with stream processing and high availability business requirements.
