With the wide adoption of containers as a method of rapidly deploying software applications to the cloud, the need to visualise workloads has been gaining momentum. The need to see the status of pods and tasks in container clusters is a major benefit when you visualise containerised workloads on an interactive diagram.

Hava has always generated diagrams for traditional compute VPCs and virtual networks and for a long time has also automatically generated AWS ECS Cluster diagrams when clusters are detected in a connected AWS account.

The ability to diagram other containerised workloads, particularly the market leading Kubernetes has now been added to the core functionality of Hava so you can now view AWS EKS Kubernetes clusters, Azure Kubernetes Clusters (AKS), Google Kubernetes Clusters (GKE) and also stand alone Kubernetes Clusters

One of the diagrams that is automatically generated when you connect your AWS account to Hava is the AWS ECS Container View.

If you have container workloads running on AWS ECS, you will get a diagram created like this :

The container diagram is created for your entire ECS cluster. You can see all the services and tasks currently running, any load balancing available to your containers as well as unused or pending capacity.
