Containers in the Illumio Core Maps
Illumio Core provides visibility and segmentation for containerized applications. You can use the Illumio Core maps Illumination, the App Group, the Vulnerability Map, and Explorer) to gain visibility into your containers so that you can build a segmentation policy for your containerized applications that use OpenShift and Kubernetes.
Most of the containerized applications connect to non-containerized applications, such as core services and databases running on bare metal. The Illumination map provides visibility across different types of workloads in order to build your segmentation policy.
For more information about deploying containers, see Illumio Core for Kubernetes and OpenShift.
View Container Workload Traffic
When you deploy containers in your organization, you can view container workloads and traffic associated with them in Illumination, the App-Group Map, the Vulnerability Map, and Explorer. Container workloads and regular workloads with same labels can be collapsed into single role and provide more granular view.
Illumination map provides visibility into network connectivity and policy coverage for applications irrespective of the type of workloads the applications run on, containers, virtual machines, or bare metal servers.
Containers are displayed in Illumination, App-Group Map, Vulnerability Map, and Explorer only if they are currently running.
Containers are displayed in the maps in the same way that collapsed roles for regular workloads are displayed.
Containers are supported in Illumination Full map as well as scaled versions of Illumination map.
Containers are supported on the App Group Maps in the same way.
The command panel displays container details in the same way as it does for regular workloads.
Explorer displays the detailed flow summaries to and from containers.
HREF for containers is included in the events and fluentd summaries streamed out of the PCE.
