Kentik customers move workloads to (and from) multiple clouds, integrate existing hybrid applications with new cloud services, migrate to Virtual WAN to secure private network traffic, and make on-premises data and applications redundant to multiple clouds – or cloud data and applications redundant to the data center.

Most of the history of network operations has been supported by monitoring tools, mostly standalone, closed systems, seeing one or a couple of network element and telemetry types, and generally on-prem and one- or few-node, without modern, open-data architectures. Campus : Ethernet switches, layer 2 and 3 switches, hubs and network extenders.

At scale, and primarily when carried out in cloud and hybrid-cloud environments, these distributed, service-oriented architectures and deployment strategies create a complexity that can buckle the most experienced network professionals when things go wrong, costs need to be explained, or optimizations need to be made.

KDE handles over 10B flow records/day with a microservice architecture that's optimized using metrics. That means scaling horizontally, which involves a complex distributed system with a custom microservice architecture. And that leads us to metrics. Health checks and series metrics. 4-amd64 x86_64 [go version go1.5

We believe a data-driven approach to network operations is the key to maintaining the mechanism that delivers applications from data centers, public clouds, and containerized architectures to actual human beings. Ultimately, we’re solving a network operations problem using a data-driven approach. More data!

There are a number of definitions, but observability in the DevOps world has been about using diverse telemetry to know the internal states of systems over time (generally focused around metrics, logs, and traces), and providing answers to the unbounded questions needed to run modern applications.

For AWS cloud networks, the Transit Gateway provides a way to route traffic to and from VPCs, regions, VPNs, Direct Connect, SD-WANs, etc. See diagram 1 below: Diagram 1: VPC peering mesh architecture.

Additionally, visibility into leading SD-WAN solutions has helped round out deeper application performance-based use cases.

When evaluating solutions, whether to internal problems or those of our customers, I like to keep the core metrics fairly simple: will this reduce costs, increase performance, or improve the network’s reliability? It’s often taken for granted by network specialists that there is a trade-off among these three facets. Resiliency.

Many of our customers already running large on-prem networks noted a trend: As their companies settled into the cloud, network teams were asked to step up to help configure network architectures, establish connectivity to their data and remote offices, and solve connectivity issues for the app teams. But those days are gone. Adapt or die.

One of the more obvious, yet powerful uses for Kentik Detect is a dashboard that provides a comprehensive overview of network traffic across the entire infrastructure: LAN / WAN, internal data centers and public cloud. This first panel shows traffic per location across their WAN: banking branches, ATMs, HQ buildings, trading desks, etc.

To quote: “Today’s typical NPMD vendors have their solutions geared toward traditional data center and branch office architecture, with the centralized hosting of applications.”. Monolithic applications running in an environment like the one described earlier are not quite gone yet, but they represent the architecture of the past.

With an infrastructure that’s pervasively instrumented for actual network performance metrics, the above issues disappear. Or perhaps you have an application in a traditional datacenter delivered to internal users over a WAN. Or possibly you have a microservices architecture with distributed application components.

So NPM is about another set of metrics. Metrics such as round-trip time, out-of-order packets, retransmits, and fragments, tell you how well the network is doing its job. NPM Architectures. There are different types of NPM tool architectures. Then there’s data generated via passive observation of real, actual traffic.
