Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) visualization in
Network Watcher Topology (Public Preview) delivers end-to-end visibility of AKS
clusters directly within the Azure networking experience. Customers can now
explore their Kubernetes environments, including the control plane, node pools,
and connected Azure resources, through an intuitive, interactive topology view.
With this release, organizations can visualize AKS
clusters as part of their broader network topology, closing the gap between
Kubernetes workloads and Azure infrastructure. Users can trace dependencies,
understand traffic paths, and identify connectivity issues - all within a
single unified map.
This capability simplifies troubleshooting and
performance analysis by visually mapping relationships between pods, services,
load balancers, and underlying VNets or subnets. It enables teams to
collaboratively diagnose issues and maintain consistent visibility across
layers.
Integrating AKS visualization into Network Watcher
Topology improves operational efficiency by reducing investigation time,
minimizing tool switching, and providing actionable insights at a glance. It
bridges the visibility gap between infrastructure and containerized workloads,
empowering teams to maintain reliable, secure, and optimized AKS deployments.
With AKS visualization in Topology, customers gain a
unified, Azure-native view of their network landscape, ensuring awareness from
the network edge to the container.
