Public Preview: Azure Network Watcher Topology – AKS Visualization

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) visualization in Network Watcher Topology (Public Preview) delivers end-to-end visibility of AKS clusters directly within the Azure networking experience. Customers can now explore their Kubernetes environments, including the control plane, node pools, and connected Azure resources, through an intuitive, interactive topology view. With this release, organizations can visualize AKS clusters as part of their broader network topology, closing the gap between Kubernetes workloads and Azure infrastructure. Users can trace dependencies, understand traffic paths, and identify connectivity issues - all within a single unified map. This capability simplifies troubleshooting and performance analysis by visually mapping relationships between pods, services, load balancers, and underlying VNets or subnets. It enables teams to collaboratively diagnose issues and maintain consistent visibility across layers. Integrating AKS visualization into Network Watcher Topology improves operational efficiency by reducing investigation time, minimizing tool switching, and providing actionable insights at a glance. It bridges the visibility gap between infrastructure and containerized workloads, empowering teams to maintain reliable, secure, and optimized AKS deployments. With AKS visualization in Topology, customers gain a unified, Azure-native view of their network landscape, ensuring awareness from the network edge to the container.
