Monitoring Kubernetes: Follow the data

Description

Datadog has helped thousands of organizations monitor their infrastructure and applications. Ilan Rabinovitch draws on the several hundred trillion data points Datadog has gathered to explore the real-world use of Kubernetes and share trends in container and orchestrator usage. Along the way, Ilan discusses the top applications being used in orchestrated environments and provides insight into which metrics you should watch and how to troubleshoot based on those metrics. Ilan also walks you through a framework for your metrics that you can use to find solutions to the issues that come up.

You’ll explore the three types of monitoring data, what to collect, what should trigger an alert (avoiding an alert storm and pager fatigue), and how to follow the resources to find the root causes of problems and will leave with strategies and frameworks you can implement in your container-based environments today, regardless of the platforms and tools you use.
