Total Pods

Overview

The Total Pods widget shows the total number of pods running across all Kubernetes clusters. It is essential for monitoring pod health and managing workloads efficiently.

Why It Matters

For IT Engineers:

1. Workload Monitoring:

   • Tracks the total number of pods running to ensure balanced workload distribution.

2. Resource Optimization:

   • Helps with resource allocation by identifying pod overuse or underuse.

3. Operational Health:

   • Enables proactive intervention when pods are not distributed evenly across nodes.

For Security Engineers:

1. Pod Integrity:

   • Ensures pods are configured correctly, with security and operational integrity maintained.

2. Vulnerability Detection:

   • Helps detect any anomalies in pod configuration that might pose security risks.
