What happens to your apps when your cloud provider performs network maintenance? Kentik helps you monitor your app’s network paths and performance on premises, in the cloud, and in between. Kentik can show you the paths your app uses during normal operations and detect any changes that could cause decreased application performance. Public cloud maintenance is necessary, and with Kentik’s network observability platform, you can see exactly when your cloud provider is doing it and how it’s affecting your application traffic.

Avi Freedman talks about the newest product developments, including Kentik’s approach to what we call network observability, and how we collect network telemetry data. He also shares what is (and isn’t) on Kentik’s roadmap.

Mike Krygeris discusses using synthetic testing to maximize network performance and minimize downtime in today’s complex cloud, hybrid, and private on-prem networks. Learn how synthetic testing can help increase observability in all types of networks and web applications.

Using Kentik Kube, cloud and infrastructure engineers can access detailed network traffic and performance visibility for internal and external traffic for their Kubernetes clusters to quickly detect and solve network problems.

How can you quickly discover misconfigured security groups, access control lists, or routing tables? We explore how practitioners serving distributed teams or customer workloads can tighten up policies, impact costs, and unblock their colleagues with cloud infrastructure observability that starts with the network.

Join our Kentik experts and Andrew Green, Research Analyst at GigaOm for a panel discussion on common challenges organizations face as they move their workloads to the cloud. They will discuss some tales from the field and ways organizations can mitigate some of these challenges, such as cost overruns, connectivity interruptions, and security considerations.

In this Kentik demo, Phil Gervasi shows how to perform a forensic analysis after a security breach. Leveraging Kentik's robust visibility into public cloud traffic, we showcase how engineers can effectively identify, analyze, and respond to security incidents. Through a hypothetical scenario, we trace a security alert from its origin—a suspected attack on an Azure-hosted system—to its resolution. Using tools like the Kentik Map and Data Explorer, we identify the attacker's entry point, compromised internal devices, and potential data exfiltration activities.

Kentik's Phil Gervasi explains how Kentik's network observability platform helps IT professionals troubleshoot performance problems with SaaS applications. He demonstrates how Kentik's network observability platform can monitor popular SaaS providers, such as Office 365, Salesforce, GitHub, Dropbox, and more, using synthetic testing mechanisms. By capturing metrics like packet loss, latency, DNS resolution, and page load time, Kentik provides valuable insights into SaaS performance. Phil takes you through a real-life example of investigating a poorly performing SaaS application and showcases how Kentik's tools pinpoint network latency issues, both regionally and globally.
