About Komodor
Komodor is extending its map of a cluster from native objects to the operators running on top of them.
The platform keeps widening what it can see. Kubernetes Add-ons make operator-managed workloads first-class: Komodor detects CRDs from KEDA, Strimzi, Flink, External Secrets, RabbitMQ, Cilium, and Kyverno in beta, with Gatekeeper, Vault, Calico, and Crossplane named next, and gives them health, configuration, and relationship views. Gateway API resources — GatewayClasses, Gateways, HTTPRoutes, GRPCRoutes — appear under the Network tab with the same inspection experience as Deployments. Services gained an Overview tab that leads with deployment status, pod health, and reliability signals instead of an events list that is often empty. Klaudia, the assistant, is invokable from any screen against a chosen cluster and keeps a searchable history of past investigations.
