The DevOps 2.5 Toolkit

By: Viktor Farcic

Overview of this book

Building on The DevOps 2.3 Toolkit: Kubernetes, and The DevOps 2.4 Toolkit: Continuous Deployment to Kubernetes, Viktor Farcic brings his latest exploration of the Docker technology as he records his journey to monitoring, logging, and autoscaling Kubernetes. The DevOps 2.5 Toolkit: Monitoring, Logging, and Auto-Scaling Kubernetes: Making Resilient, Self-Adaptive, And Autonomous Kubernetes Clusters is the latest book in Viktor Farcic’s series that helps you build a full DevOps Toolkit. This book helps readers develop the necessary skillsets needed to be able to operate Kubernetes clusters, with a focus on metrics gathering and alerting with the goal of making clusters and applications inside them autonomous through self-healing and self-adaptation. Work with Viktor and dive into the creation of self-adaptive and self-healing systems within Kubernetes.

What Did We Do?

Using instrumentation to provide more detailed metrics

We shouldn't just say that the go-demo-5 application is slow. That would not provide enough information for us to quickly inspect the code in search of the exact cause of that slowness. We should be able to do better and deduce which part of the application is misbehaving. Can we pinpoint a specific path that produces slow responses? Are all methods equally slow, or the issue is limited only to one? Do we know which function produces slowness? There are many similar questions we should be able to answer in situations like that. But we can't, with the current metrics. They are too generic, and they can usually only tell us that a specific Kubernetes resource is misbehaving. The metrics we're collecting are too broad to answer application-specific questions.

The metrics we explored so far are a combination of...
