SASE overlay that that connects enterprise users, endpoints, and applications with Zero Trust, and protects them from advanced cybersecurity threats

When you work with containers on Kubernetes, you often group applications together in a pod. When you launch a container or a pod into production, it's called a deployment. If you're using Kubernetes daily or even just weekly, you've probably done it hundreds of times, but have you thought about what exactly happens when you create a pod or a deployment?

Dropped packets are a fact of life in networking; there can be any number of reasons why a packet may not survive the journey to its destination. Indeed, there are so many ways that a packet can meet its demise that it can be hard for an administrator to tell why packets are being dropped. That, in turn, can make life difficult in times when users are complaining about high packet-loss rates. Starting with 5.17, the kernel is getting some improved instrumentation that should shed some light on why the kernel decides route packets into the bit bucket.

How to reliably choose the right type of testing for your product
