NEW: v51.0.0 is out, with significantly improved performance and optimized resource utilization.

Kubeshark is an API Traffic Analyzer for Kubernetes providing real-time, protocol-level visibility into Kubernetes’ internal network, capturing and monitoring all traffic and payloads going in, out and across containers, pods, nodes and clusters.
