Kubernetes Observability
summary
Kubernetes observability focuses on three concrete pillars: logs metrics traces with a telemetry layer, analytics (including ML anomaly detection), and security/troubleshooting. Practical advice includes monitoring API metrics like request rate, errors and latency, alerting on disk at 70–80% usage, and expecting high data volume from distributed components. Recommended stack: Prometheus and PromQL for time-series, Grafana (dashboards + Loki), Jaeger for end-to-end tracing, and an EFK pipeline (Fluentd/Logstash → Elasticsearch → Kibana).
