Azure Container Services Monitoring

Azure Container Services (ACS) help you deploy, orchestrate, and manage containerized applications with ease. To ensure optimal performance, reliability and securityof these containerized applications and to maintain a high level of efficiency and scalability, employing a monitoring tool becomes pivotal. Applications Manager acts as an all-in-one monitoring tool that provides real-time insights into Azure Container Services such as:

• Azure Container Apps
• Azure Container Instances
• Azure Container Registry

Azure Container App monitoring

Azure Container App is a managed service designed to simplify the deployment and scaling of containerized applications. It enables efficient management of microservices without the burden of handling the underlying infrastructure.

With Applications Manager's Container App monitoring tool, you can:

• Optimize the performance of your container apps and identify bottlenecks in real time by monitoring CPU usage and requests.
• Track incoming and outgoing data to evaluate traffic patterns and optimize data flow.
• Keep track of Memory Working set to understand memory consumption and detect abnormal increases.
• Manage buffers effectively to minimize data processing latency, ensuring smoother and faster application performance.
• Monitor timeouts to avoid long wait times and improve user experience.
• Assess the load on your application to ensure effective management of concurrent connections.

Azure Container Instances monitoring

Azure Container Instances (ACI) is a fully managed service for deploying and running containerized applications in Azure. It is considered the fastest and easiest way to run a container in the cloud, without having to set up VMs, clusters or orchestrators.

By monitoring Azure container instances with Applications Manager, you can:

• Pinpoint performance degradation in your instances by monitoring CPU usage and identifying bottlenecks in real-time.
• Optimize resource allocation and scale container instances to meet application demands.
• Analyze incoming and outgoing data to assess traffic patterns and manage costs efficiently.
• Tackle unnecessary data transfers and improve performance.
• Prevent out-of-memory errors; get notified of abnormal memory utilization.

Azure Container Registry monitoring

Azure Container Registry is a fully managed, geo-replicated service for storing and managing Docker and OCI (Open Container Initiative) images and artifacts. It allows you to build, store, and manage container images in a private registry.

Monitoring Azure Container Registry is essential for maintaining the health, performance, and security of your container images and artifacts. Using Applications Manager's Azure container registry monitor, you can:

• Keep track of the amount of storage space consumed by the container images in the Azure Container Registry to ensure that sufficient storage capacity is available to accommodate new images.
• Become aware of Image Push and Pull statistics to evaluate the rate of image updates and deployments while also identifying patterns in image consumption. Leverage this information to optimize image distribution and caching strategies.
• Keep an eye on ACR task duration to pinpoint inefficiencies in the container image lifecycle.
• Optimize costs by identifying and removing unused or redundant images, and adjusting resource allocation as needed.
