How can I monitor ingress and egress traffic from Kubernetes pods?

Context When running Kubernetes workloads, you may want to monitor and track inbound and outbound network traffic from your pods, including information such as the number of calls, URLs accessed, and traffic patterns. Answer While DuploCloud doesn't provide a built-in dashboard specifically for pod-level traffic monitoring, you can monitor pod network traffic using VPC Flow Logs if you're running on AWS: Using VPC Flow Logs (AWS): VPC Flow Logs capture network traffic at the ENI (Elastic Network Interface) level, which can provide pod-level visibility when using custom networking. For pods with dedicated ENIs (such as when using AWS CNI with aws-node), you can trace pod traffic by: Identifying the pod IP Locating the host where the pod is running Finding the associated ENI Filtering VPC flow logs for that specific ENI For ingress traffic specifically, you can view configurations through the DuploCloud portal under the Kubernetes > Ingress section, though this requires having ingress controllers configured in your cluster. Note: For more detailed network traffic analysis, you may want to consider implementing additional monitoring and observability tools that integrate with your Kubernetes environment.
