PerfectScale: May 2024 Releases Recap

It’s summer, and the weather is getting hot, but that is not stopping PerfectScale from bringing the Heat! We’ve been working hard to release numerous small and big improvements to enhance your K8s optimization journey. Join me in exploring the recent updates designed to enhance your automation experience, streamline alert management, and simplify administrative duties.

Automation Enhancement 

To help you achieve quicker cost-saving results, we have enhanced our automation feature, designed to accelerate your path to K8s efficiency ensuring your K8s stability and performance.

To enhance your automated actions analysis and identify opportunities for improving Day-2 operations and Kubernetes management, we have developed the Automation Audit Log.

This feature empowers you to:

• Effortlessly review a detailed breakdown of all changes made.
• Gain quick insights into specific tasks executed, containers affected, and precise timestamps indicating when each action occurred. 
• Ensure transparency in your operations and facilitate further analysis.

New Alerts Management Capabilities

To streamline your Slack alert notifications and make them more scalable and customizable for your unique use cases, we've introduced several new options for managing it: 

1. Route Slack Notifications by channel_id
   With just a few clicks, you can effortlessly configure alerts to be sent to different Slack channels for various workloads within a cluster, by simply specifying the Slack channel ID. This approach ensures seamless alerting, streamlining the configuration process.
2. Configure Alerts for Namespaces
   To maximize your effectiveness, Slack routing is available on the namespace level. By setting up routing for the entire namespace you can significantly streamline alerts management, ensure consistency across all alerts within that namespace, and reduce the risk of configuration errors.

Alerts Filtering

To help you better organize your alert handling procedure, prioritize issues based on their impact, and focus on the most important ones, we have added an Alerts Filtering option. 

This update allows you to display alerts based on their status (e.g., active alerts only) and filter issues by their impact on the performance and stability of your Kubernetes environment. Additionally, this unlocks a better evaluation of the health and stability of your clusters, namespaces, and specific workloads, guiding you toward more proactive changes to help prevent future issues.
