Advanced Managed Prometheus

Hello.
On December 26, 2024, KakaoCloud's new service, Advanced Managed Prometheus, was released. 🎉

If you have experienced difficulties with complex monitoring setup or unexpected failure handling in cloud environments, Advanced Managed Prometheus is a service worth watching.

Advanced Managed Prometheus is a high-performance managed monitoring service that can efficiently collect, store, and analyze metric data in cloud-native environments. It is designed to reliably process large-scale data generated from Kubernetes, Virtual Machine, applications, and more, and provides scalability and stability optimized for cloud environments based on Prometheus's core features.

What is Prometheus?
Prometheus Logo

Prometheus is a project that began at SoundCloud in 2012 and is now an official project of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). It provides metric-based monitoring and collects, stores, and analyzes system and application performance data. In particular, it efficiently stores and queries data based on a time-series database. With scalability, reliability, and flexibility, Prometheus is an essential monitoring tool in cloud-native environments.

What is Advanced Managed Prometheus?

Now let's take a closer look at the key features and characteristics of KakaoCloud Advanced Managed Prometheus.
Advanced Managed Prometheus is a service that optimizes the powerful features of Prometheus for cloud-native environments and provides real-time metric collection and monitoring without complex configuration.

In large-scale environments, users may face limitations in data storage capacity and processing speed, difficulties in cluster configuration and maintenance, and problems where failures are not detected in advance. Advanced Managed Prometheus was designed to solve these operational difficulties. The service collects metric data in real time without the risk of data delay or loss. It also automates Prometheus installation, configuration, and backup, reducing operational burden and helping users focus on business logic and performance optimization instead of infrastructure management.

In Kubernetes environments in particular, it effectively manages large-scale container-based workloads and greatly improves visibility into cloud-native applications.

Key features of Advanced Managed Prometheus

1. Automated operations management

  • Automates Prometheus installation, upgrades, and backups to minimize operational burden.
  • Users can build a stable monitoring environment without complex configuration.

2. Scalable data storage

  • Large-scale metric data can be retained and processed reliably.
  • It responds flexibly to growing data volumes while maintaining performance.

3. Real-time alerts and Alert Center integration

  • By integrating with KakaoCloud Alert Center, you can configure threshold alerts for key metrics and logs.
  • When an issue occurs, immediate notification messages help you respond quickly.

4. Integrated monitoring

  • You can monitor and manage various resources such as Kubernetes, VMs, and applications in an integrated way.
  • Operational efficiency improves because all resources can be viewed at a glance.

5. Real-time dashboard and visualization

  • By integrating with Grafana, it provides real-time dashboard and visualization features.
  • Complex metric data can be analyzed and understood intuitively.

Usage purposes and examples

Advanced Managed Prometheus is especially useful in the following situations.

  • Monitoring large-scale workloads in Kubernetes clusters
  • Analyzing resource usage for VMs and applications
  • Collecting real-time metric data and managing alerts
  • Building a stable monitoring environment while minimizing operational burden

Closing

KakaoCloud Advanced Managed Prometheus is designed to make monitoring and alerts easier and more stable to operate in cloud-native environments. In fact, Advanced Managed Prometheus was created based on requests and feedback from many customers. We thought deeply about how to reduce complex monitoring setup and maintenance burden and help users manage infrastructure more effectively.

Select Advanced Managed Prometheus in the KakaoCloud console and easily build a monitoring environment. For more details, see the How-to Guides documentation.

Thank you.
