This project is a Flask-based web application that monitors system usage and displays it in a user-friendly interface using Plotly. The application can be built using Docker and deployed on Kubernetes, and it can be hosted on the cloud, specifically on AWS (Amazon Web Services).
Monitoring system usage is crucial for maintaining the performance and stability of applications running on a server. This project provides a Flask web application that collects system metrics, such as CPU usage, memory usage, and disk usage, and presents them in a visually appealing and intuitive dashboard. By leveraging Docker and Kubernetes, you can easily deploy and scale this application to meet your needs. Additionally, hosting the application on AWS allows for reliable and scalable infrastructure.
