 Visual Kubernetes Architecture Overview

Visualize Your Kubernetes Architecture with Orchetrix  – The AppsChart Section

The AppsChart section is the central hub of Orchetrix, offering a real-time, interactive visualization of your Kubernetes architecture. It transforms complex cluster structures into an easy-to-understand graphical interface, helping teams manage, monitor, and optimize cloud-native applications with confidence.

 Key Features of the AppChart Section

Live Cluster Visualization

• Instantly view your entire Kubernetes infrastructure in real-time.

• Get dynamic diagrams of deployments, services, pods, nodes, and other essential resources.

 Understand Microservice Relationships

• Explore the connections and dependencies between microservices.

• Easily identify how workloads are interacting and communicating across your namespaces.

 Smart Zoom & Deep Inspection

• Zoom in on specific namespaces, workloads, or services for detailed insights.

• Inspect individual resources, view health status, and access configuration details.

 Visual Problem Detection

• Benefit from color-coded visual cues to detect misconfigurations, bottlenecks, and errors.

• Prioritize issues quickly with real-time syncing and status updates.

 Built for DevOps, SREs, and Developers

Whether you are a DevOps engineer, SRE, or developer, Orchetrix empowers you to:

• Enhance your workflow with live cluster interaction and control.

How AppsChart works?

• Select a Namespace to define the operational scope within your Kubernetes cluster.
  
  

• Choose a Workload Type (e.g., Deployment, StatefulSet) to filter relevant architecture components.
  
  

• Identify a Specific Resource running within the selected workload to generate a focused chart.
  
  

• AppChart automatically analyzes dependencies and discovers all interconnected Kubernetes objects.
  
  

• A real-time architecture diagram is rendered, visually representing services, workloads, pods, and config maps.
  
  

• Each node is dynamically color-coded based on its current health and operational status.
  
  

• Interactive nodes allow deep inspection, including live log access, metrics, and resource details.
  
  

• Utilize the Refresh control to instantly update the chart with the latest cluster state.
  
  

• Export the complete chart as a high-quality PDF or image file for documentation, collaboration, or reporting.
