GKE enriches observability in context by adding uptime checks | Google Cloud Blog

GKE enriches observability in context by adding uptime checks | Google Cloud Blog

Google Cloud has announced the availability of Uptime Checks for Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) which can proactively detect availability and latency issues with an application and reduce the time and severity your users are impacted by an outage. Uptime checks for GKE services allow you to easily create, manage, and monitor an uptime check for a Kubernetes External LoadBalancer without leaving the GKE UI. It associates a service load balancer directly with an uptime check, ensuring that it is managed dynamically. #observability #GKE #softcorpremium
