live demo deployment of Kubeshark.
**Kubeshark** is a network observability platform for Kubernetes, providing real-time, cluster-wide visibility into Kubernetes’ network. It enables users to inspect all internal and external cluster communications, API calls, and data in transit. Additionally, Kubeshark detects anomalies and emergent behaviors, trigger autonomous remediations, and generate deep network insights.
Think [TCPDump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tcpdump) and [Wireshark](https://www.wireshark.org/) reimagined for Kubernetes.
#### Service-Map w/Kubernetes Context
#### Cluster-Wide PCAP Recording
## Getting Started
Download **Kubeshark**'s binary distribution [latest release](https://github.com/kubeshark/kubeshark/releases/latest) or use one of the following methods to deploy **Kubeshark**. The [web-based dashboard](https://docs.kubeshark.co/en/ui) should open in your browser, showing a real-time view of your cluster's traffic.
### Homebrew
[Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) :beer: users can install the Kubeshark CLI with:
```shell
brew install kubeshark
kubeshark tap
```
To clean up:
```shell
kubeshark clean
```
### Helm
Add the Helm repository and install the chart:
```shell
helm repo add kubeshark https://helm.kubeshark.co
helm install kubeshark kubeshark/kubeshark
```
Follow the on-screen instructions how to connect to the dashboard.
To clean up:
```shell
helm uninstall kubeshark
```
