Relationship Analysis

The Relationship Analysis provides a comprehensive view of the dependencies and relationships in your Kubernetes cluster.

Overview

This view allows you to:

  • Visualize: Display the interconnected components within a cluster
  • Analyze: Understand the impact of changes across components
  • Plan: Optimize deployment strategies and testing approaches

Components and Dependencies

Visualization Metrics

  • Service Dependencies: Understand how services interact
  • Pod Relationships: Track pod-to-pod communications
  • Storage Dependencies: Map PV to PVC relationships

Dependency Mapping

    A[Service A] --> B[Service B];
    B --> C[Database];
    A --> C;

Best Practices

Change Management

  1. Impact Analysis: Evaluate the potential effects of changes
  2. Testing Strategies: Prioritize tests based on dependencies
  3. Resource Allocation: Distribute resources based on dependency criticality
