Let the Sharks out of the Ocean and onto your Kube cluster! Kubeshark

What if you wanted to see what exactly was going on in your Kubernetes cluster. Dreaming of your old pal from the Physical/Virtual days, wireshark? Look no more Kubeshark will rip into those network packets and you can feast away.

As their website states, Kubeshark is an API traffic Analyzer https://kubeshark.co/

Why don’t we take it for a spin?

helm repo add kubeshark https://helm.kubeshark.co
helm repo update

I am going to save the chart values to a file and then enable the ingress

helm show values kubeshark/kubeshark >values.yaml

I will also use a couple of settings from their installation documentation

helm install kubeshark kubeshark/kubeshark -n kubeshark --create-namespace --set tap.release.namespace=kubeshark --set tap.resources.worker.limits.memory=2Gi -f values.yaml

Looks good:

Now to take a look at this tool:

Ok well this looks pretty darn cool but I have to figure out how to use it now :)
