Container workload monitoring and topology visualization in data centers

Abstract:

Techniques for container management and topology visualization are provided. A network topology of a data center is determined, where the network topology includes a plurality of physical servers. A plurality of containers executing in the data center is identified, and for each respective container of the plurality of containers, a respective server from the plurality of physical servers that is executing the respective container is determined. An augmented network topology is generated by correlating the network topology and the determined server executing each container, where the augmented network topology indicates relationships among the plurality of containers and physical resources in the data center.
