Instances

Instances are individual containerized workloads running within clusters. In Kubernetes terminology, instances correspond to pods.

Overview

The Instances page provides visibility into all instances across your clusters. You can start, stop, restart, and monitor individual instances.

Instance Statuses

• Running - Instance is healthy and processing requests
• Degraded - Instance has issues but is still running

Filtering

Use the search input to filter instances by:

• Instance ID
• Cluster name

Operation Queue

All instance operations are tracked, showing:

• Operation type (startInstance, stopInstance, restartInstance)
• Target instance ID
• Current status (pending, running, succeeded, failed)

Instance Health

Monitor the “Restarts” column to identify unstable instances. High restart counts may indicate:

• Application errors
• Resource constraints
• Configuration issues
• Health check failures
