Overview

Alibaba Sentinel is a flow control, circuit breaking and real time monitoring platform for microservices and distributed systems. The Sentinel Dashboard is its web console for viewing live traffic to instrumented services and managing flow, degrade, system and authority rules from one place, keeping services stable under load and cascading failure. Sentinel is open source under the Apache License 2.0.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg delivers the Sentinel Dashboard fully patched on a hardened base, running as a systemd service on Eclipse Temurin 21, with a unique admin login generated on first boot so the default credential never ships, a host firewall limited to SSH and the dashboard port, an authenticated login round trip check, and 24/7 support.

Common uses

  • Flow control and rate limiting for services
  • Circuit breaking and graceful degradation
  • Real time traffic monitoring for microservices
