Running and maintaining complex applications on Kubernetes often requires good monitoring capabilities. Sure, there are plenty of products available which can be deployed easily to an existing cluster to get insights about the current cluster inventory. But why not build your own?

In this post, I’ll guide you through the process of creating a simple ASP.NET Core Web API to expose your cluster’s inventory - such as Pods for example - to other applications in order to get exactly those insights that are important for you. I used the following example frequently during public talks to explain the core concepts of Kubernetes to .NET developers.

I use .NET for building WebAPI’s because all other stuff is mostly done using AngularJS and Node.js in these days. However, since the incredible change that Microsoft is living these days, I can finally get rid of my virtual development machine 🙂

To get ASP.NET vNext up and running on your Mac, you’ve of course to use Mono. In the case you’ve already installed Xamarin on your system, you may run into the issue that your Mono version is outdated.
