Public Preview: Advanced Network Observability for your Azure Kubernetes Service clusters through Azure Monitor

We are excited to announce Advanced Container Networking Services (ACNS), a suite of services that enhance the operational capabilities of your Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters. Advanced Network Observability is the inaugural feature of the ACNS suite that provides pod level metrics, DNS metrics, L4 connections, and enhanced debug capability for troubleshooting AKS cluster networks.

ACNS is integrated with Azure Monitor for monitoring AKS clusters. The metrics from Advanced Network Observability are ingested by Azure Monitor managed service for Prometheus and visualized in pre-built dashboards in Azure Managed Grafana. Customers can customize the metrics ingested with a custom scrape configuration. ACNS is now in public preview and available for all AKS customers.
