## Kubernetes Monitoring

When you open the Kubernetes Monitoring app in Grafana Cloud, there’s a ready-made monitoring experience rather than a blank canvas you have to build yourself.

[Try it out in Grafana Play](https://play.grafana.org/a/grafana-k8s-app/home/overview?from=now-1h&to=now&timezone=utc&refresh=1m&var-cluster=%24__all&var-namespace=%24__all&var-datasource=grafanacloud-play-prom)
