The virtual machines that you integrate into the mesh also become available on the Service Mesh Manager dashboard. Workloads running on virtual machines are treated as regular Kubernetes workloads, with the following differences.

  • On the MENU > TOPOLOGY page, workloads running on virtual machines are shown as workloads with the Virtual machine workload icon in their corner.

  • When drilling down into the details of workloads, workloads running on virtual machines have a WorkloadEntry level instead of the Pod and Node levels of Kubernetes workloads.

  • On the HEALTH details of the workloads, CPU and memory saturation data is labeled as VM SATURATION: CPU and VM SATURATION: MEMORY.

  • When using traffic tapping to a workload running on virtual machine, the name of the pod in the output is actually the hostname of the virtual machine.
