The Densify Container Optimization Data Forwarder is the container that collects data from Kubernetes using the Prometheus API and forwards that data to Densify. Densify then analyzes your Kubernetes clusters and provides sizing recommendations.

Densify supports two use-cases for version 4 or higher of the Forwarder.

In this configuration, data is collected from the Kubernetes cluster where your workloads, the Densify Forwarder and Prometheus are all running.

• Kubernetes with Prometheus
• Kubernetes with Authenticated Prometheus, typical case for OpenShift

In this configuration, data is collected from multiple Kubernetes clusters monitored by an observability platform. The Densify Forwarder can run anywhere (provided it can access that observability platform).

• Kubernetes with observability platform using basic authentication
• Kubernetes with Amazon Managed Prometheus (AMP)
• Azure Monitor managed service for Prometheus (AzMP)

The Docker image is available on Docker hub. Pull it using docker pull densify/container-optimization-data-forwarder:4.
