4.1 Overview

This section covers essential practices for monitoring, tracking, and managing the health and performance of cloud-native applications. With observability being a critical factor in ensuring system reliability, you'll learn how to collect and analyze telemetry data, leverage Prometheus for monitoring, and implement cost management strategies to optimize resource usage.

Topics Covered
  • Telemetry and Observability in Cloud Native Systems: Understanding the role of metrics, logs, and tracing for full system visibility.
  • Using Prometheus for Monitoring: Leveraging Prometheus for real-time metrics collection, querying, and alerting.
  • Cost Management in Cloud Native Environments: Techniques to track, optimize, and control cloud costs while maintaining performance.
Learning Objectives
  • Understand how telemetry and observability provide insights into the health and performance of cloud-native systems.
  • Learn how to use Prometheus to collect metrics, set up alerts, and monitor cloud-native applications.
  • Explore cost management techniques to optimize cloud resource usage and reduce operational costs.
