Distribution of Pods based on Nodes

Overview

The Distribution of Pods based on Nodes widget provides a breakdown of how pods are distributed across different nodes in the Kubernetes clusters. It helps track whether pods are evenly distributed or if any node is overburdened.

Why It Matters

For IT Engineers:

1. Workload Balancing:

   • Tracks pod distribution to ensure no single node is overwhelmed with excessive workloads.

2. Efficient Resource Allocation:

   • Ensures optimal use of node resources by balancing pod workloads across the cluster.

3. Cluster Optimization:

   • Provides insights to fine-tune pod-to-node allocation for better cluster performance.

For Security Engineers:

1. Anomaly Detection:

   • Helps identify unusual pod distribution patterns that could indicate a misconfiguration or security risk.

2. Security Compliance:

   • Tracks that pods are distributed according to security and performance guidelines.
