VMblog.com | Monitoring Kubernetes in 2019 Will Get A Whole Lot Easier

In 2019, InfluxData predicts that containerization and Kubernetes will continue to gain popularity among DevOps teams, leading to changes in monitoring trends. The shift to container architectures is making legacy monitoring tools unsuitable for this new deployment architecture. As a result, there are expected trends such as the evolution of metrics and events observability, growth in CX Monitoring beyond infrastructure and toolchains, traction for time series platforms, an increased need for purpose-built platforms, and additional ground gained by Kubernetes while workloads still operate on non-K8s infrastructure.
