AlphaScale supports major Kubernetes platforms such as EKS (Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service), AKS
(Azure Kubernetes Service), and GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine). Kubernetes is a popular container
orchestration platform for managing and scaling containerized applications.
1. Access Kubernetes Cluster
To manage Kubernetes clusters, navigate to the “Kubernetes” section in the AlphaScale menu. Here,
you’ll find various options related to Kubernetes management and security.
In the Kubernetes Cluster Management section, you’ll see a list of Kubernetes platforms that have been
connected to AlphaScale. This provides an overview of the clusters you are currently monitoring.
Kubernetes Cluster Management
Perform CRUD Operations
In Kubernetes Cluster Management, you can perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations
on your cluster resources. You can view details, create new resources, modify existing ones, and delete
resources when necessary.
Export Results
You can export the results if you want to extract and analyze the inventory data outside of AlphaScale.
AlphaScale allows you to export the inventory data either in CSV files or PDF format, making it easier to
share and work with the information.
AI Assistance
AI assistance in the context of AlphaScale’s cloud security platform offers valuable support by providing
remedies, prevention methods, and brief explanations for the inventory findings. This AI-driven feature
is designed to enhance the user experience and help organizations effectively address security
vulnerabilities and risks identified in their cloud environments.
AI assistance offers contextual guidance, taking into account your specific cloud environment and
configurations. The recommendations provided are customized to your cloud setup, ensuring that the
remedies and prevention methods are relevant and actionable.
Configure the Cluster
Configuring Cluster in AlphaScale involves several steps, including providing basic information, choosing
platforms, and selecting categories and params.
Provide Basic Information
In the New Profile creation form, you will need to provide basic information such as the Cluster Name
and Cluster Description. Choose a descriptive name and description to easily identify the cluster profile’s
purpose.
Choose Cluster Platforms
Next, you’ll need to select the cluster platforms you want to monitor logs for. AlphaScale supports
various cloud providers such as AKS, GKE, and EKS. Check the boxes for the platforms you want to
configure the cluster for.
