Operate Infrastructure

Work against live clusters from Operator mode - open shells, follow logs, and load test services.

These guides cover tasks you run against live clusters from Operator mode. Each task starts from a resource on the Operator canvas and runs through Meshery Operator, MeshSync, and the broker that Meshery Operator deploys in the cluster. To see how those pieces fit together, read Operator.

Operator mode needs a Meshery deployment that can reach your clusters. The hosted kanvas.new site does not offer it.

Open an Interactive Terminal

Open shell sessions into the containers of a running pod from the Operator canvas, and know what the terminal can and cannot do.

Stream Container Logs

Live-tail the logs of a pod or container from the Operator canvas, search the stream, and know its limits.

Run a Performance Test

Generate load against a Service or Ingress from the Operator canvas using a performance profile, and read the results.
