"KubeSquash is a tool for live debugging of microservices running on Kubernetes. By attaching modern debuggers to your microservices application, KubeSquash gives you the full strength of live debugging : getting/setting the value of variables, adding pauses and sleeps in certain portions of the code, forcing the execution of specific code paths, etc.

KubeSquash is extremely easy to launch, and requires No server. Its user interface is dead simple: invoke with a single command ksquash, target the desired pod, and the debugging session is initiated automatically with zero configuration or effort."

"Jaeger, inspired by Dapper and OpenZipkin, is a distributed tracing system released as open source by Uber Technologies. It can be used for monitoring microservice-based architectures:

Distributed context propagation Distributed transaction monitoring Root cause analysis Service dependency analysis Performance / latency optimization"

Kontena is an open source project for orchestrating and running containerized workloads on a cluster. Kontena system is comprised of a number of Kontena Nodes (machines or VMs that run containerized workloads) and a Kontena Master that controls and monitors the Nodes.

With Kontena, you can describe your application with Kontena Service definition. A Service definition describes the container image, networking, scaling and stateful/stateless attributes for your application. Services may be linked together to create desired architecture. Each service is automatically assigned with internal DNS address that can be used inside your application for inter-Service communications.

The summary of Kontena key features:

Scheduler with affinity filtering Built-in private Docker image registry Remote VPN access for workload services Ready made load-balancing service Log and statistics aggregation with streaming Access control and roles for Kontena users Kontena is used with Kontena command line interface Kontena CLI. At the moment, there is no graphical (web based) UI for Kontena.
