USE CASE · Container orchestration / Cloud-native
Kubernetes
Container, pod, node, control plane, ingress, DNS, certificate, registry — each of these is a thing that can be up while everything else is on fire.
What good looks like
A status page that has one row per workload (not per pod, not per service), plus rows for the control plane and the managed-database tier. When a customer opens the page, they can see whether the issue is their app, the ingress, the cluster, or us — without needing to ask support.
What goes wrong without one
Your team has kubectl, your customers have Slack. A status page is the in-between that lets you point at the truth without opening a shell.
What this workload actually needs
HTTP/HTTPS on the ingress (every host, every path that matters). TCP on the database and the object store. A row per workload that means something to a customer (not a row per Deployment). The Kubernetes API itself is a separate row — a control-plane outage shows up there even when the workloads are fine.
Rollout checklist
- 01Map every workload to a customer-facing component name. If the name on the status page does not match the name in the customer's dashboard, the page is useless.
- 02Wire the ingress health as one component and the workload health as another. The two diverge more often than you think.
- 03Add the managed-database tier and the certificate-rotation pipeline as their own components. They are the most common silent failures.
- 04When a node is cordoned or a deployment is wedged, the synthetic check on the workload should fail before the customer notices — set the interval to 30 seconds, and accept the noise.
