Description: A Service Monitor is a tool used to monitor the health and performance of services in a cloud-native environment. In the context of Kubernetes, this tool allows developers and system administrators to gain visibility into the status of deployed applications, facilitating the identification of issues and performance optimization. Service Monitors can track key metrics such as CPU usage, memory, network latency, and application response times. Additionally, they provide real-time alerts and notifications, enabling operations teams to quickly respond to any anomalies. These tools are essential for ensuring the availability and efficiency of cloud services, as they allow organizations to maintain proactive control over their production environments. With the growing adoption of microservices-based architectures, effective monitoring has become a critical component for the success of Kubernetes deployments, helping companies improve end-user experience and reduce downtime.
