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.

What Did We Do?

What now?

I don't believe that we need many other examples of instrumented metrics. They are not any different than those we are collecting through exporters. I'll leave it up to you to start instrumenting your applications. Start small, see what works well, improve and extend.

Yet another chapter is finished. Destroy your cluster and start the next one fresh, or keep it. If you choose the latter, please execute the commands that follow to remove the go-demo-5 application.

 1  helm delete go-demo-5 --purge
 2
 3  kubectl delete ns go-demo-5

Before you leave, remember the point that follows. It summarizes instrumentation.

  • Instrumented metrics are baked into applications. They are an integral part of the code of our apps, and they are usually exposed through the /metrics endpoint.
