Chapter 3. Exploring the Skupper console

The Skupper console provides an overview of the following:

  • Services - services that are exposed on the service network, both local and remote.
  • Sites - Application Interconnect installations on the current service network.
  • Deployments - deployments relating to exposed services.

The Skupper console also provides useful networking information about the service network, for example, traffic levels between sites.
