OpsRamp's Topology Explorer delivers visual representations of dependency relationships between application components and hybrid infrastructure that feed into both [service maps](https://blog.opsramp.com/service-maps-impact-analysis?hsLang=en-us) and [service-centric AIOps](https://www.opsramp.com/solutions/service-centric-aiops/). These real-time visualizations make it easier for digital operations teams to troubleshoot and detect root causes of incidents, improving MTTR and bringing business value faster.  OpsRamp provides contextual topology information for all discovered resources (layer 3 mappings) so that IT teams can access a 360-degree view of their enterprise application and infrastructure ecosystem. More importantly, OpsRamp delivers topology maps for public cloud services, containers, applications, hypervisors, network resources, and wide area networks, for a complete picture of IT service health.  **Here is how OpsRamp’s topology maps ensure IT operations and DevOps teams can keep up with the demands of their modern distributed systems:** 1. **Cloud Topology. **By 2022, 90% of global enterprises will work with a combination of “[on-premises/dedicated private clouds, multiple public clouds, and legacy platforms to meet their infrastructure needs](https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prMETA46165020).” Given that hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure will play a critical role in meeting workload demands, IT operations teams need visibility into all the different public cloud services that their enterprise is currently using. Here’s how OpsRamp delivers contextual visibility and dynamic control for the three leading cloud platforms: 1. **Kubernetes Topology. **DevOps teams can ensure that their cloud native services are running optimally with topology maps that deliver real-time context into the performance of Kubernetes clusters and underlying containers, pods, and nodes across on-prem and managed cloud Kubernetes deployments.

Application Topology. OpsRamp not only discovers application services, processes, hosts, and topology clusters but also establishes relationship maps for application components and supporting infrastructure. IT teams can access relevant topology context for 40  popular open source apps such as Apache, Cassandra, Couchbase, Docker, Hadoop, Kafka, Mesos, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis, Solr, and Zookeeper and resolve performance problems with end-to-end application server visibility.

Network Topology. OpsRamp supports commonly used protocols such as BGP, BRIDGE, CDP, LLDP, and OSPF so that IT operators can keep track of network connections across multiple enterprise deployments. Network automation teams can leverage cross-site topology to understand the connections between different datacenter sites or from a datacenter site to a public cloud environment.

Hypervisor Topology. OpsRamp offers dynamic discovery and real-time topology views for popular virtualization infrastructure such as VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, and KVM hypervisors. Datacenter managers can control virtualization sprawl by visualizing relationships across virtual machines, hypervisor servers, and clusters. [Learn more about OpsRamp virtualization monitoring](https://blog.opsramp.com/virtualization-monitoring?hsLang=en-us). ![Blog_vCenter(hypervisor)_Topology](https://blog.opsramp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_images/Topology%20Blog/Blog_vCenter(hypervisor)_Topology.jpg?width=974&name=Blog_vCenter(hypervisor)_Topology.jpg) Given that most workloads will run on hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure, IT operations teams can use OpsRamp’s topology maps for enterprise applications, on-prem datacenters, and public cloud services to pinpoint performance issues in their business-critical services and drive faster root-cause(s) analysis for unanticipated service degradations. ## **Next Steps:** - Learn how to deliver [intelligent infrastructure monitoring at scale](https://blog.opsramp.com/intelligent-it-infrastructure-monitoring-machine-learning?hsLang=en-us). - Check out the [7-step plan for successful AIOps implementations](https://blog.opsramp.com/aiops-implementation?hsLang=en-us). - Learn about [OpsRamp’s commitment during COVID-19](https://blog.opsramp.com/opsramp-coronavirus?hsLang=en-us).
