What Hacker News says
2 sourcesIt's particularly useful for detecting issues such as inadvertent IAC changes that can have significant consequences on your cluster's network connectivity and security.
Netchecks has:
* An easy-to-use CLI netcheck for running network checks locally.
* A helm installable operator for Kubernetes: create "NetworkAssertions" to have netchecks periodically ensure your cluster's network conditions are working as specified.
* Monitoring and alerting: integrate with Prometheus and Alertmanager to monitor your network checks' results and receive alerts for any discrepancies.
* Custom validation rules using CEL expressions, allowing you to specify precise conditions for checks to pass or fail.
