Cloud Observability in Action (MEAP V06)

In Cloud Observability in Action you will learn how to
Apply observability in cloud native systems
Understand observability signals, including their costs and benefits
Apply good practices around instrumentation and signal collection
Deliver dashboarding, alerting, and SLOs/SLIs at scale
Choose the correct signal types for given roles or tasks
Pick the right observability tool for any given function
Communicate the benefits of observability to management
Cloud native, serverless, and containerized applications are made up of hundreds of moving parts. When something goes wrong, it's not enough to just know there is a problem-you need to know where it is, what it is, and even how to fix it. Cloud Observability in Action shows you how to go beyond the traditional monitoring and build observability systems that turn application telemetry into actionable insight.
about the technology
A well-designed observability system provides insight into bugs and performance issues in cloud native applications. Often, observability is the difference between an error message and an explanation! You know exactly which service is affected, who's responsible for its repair, and even how it can be optimized in the future. Best of all, observability allows you to easily automate your error handling with machine users applying fixes without any human help.
about the book
Cloud Observability in Action teaches you to apply observability practices to cloud-based serverless and Kubernetes environments. In this one-of-a-kind guide, author Michael Hausenblas shares insights from his extensive experience building, monitoring, and improving cloud native systems.
You'll use open source tools like Prometheus and Grafana to build your own observability system without having to rely on proprietary software. Learn how to use telemetry and destinations to continuously generate and discover insights from different signals, including logs, metrics, traces, and profiles. Throughout, use cases and rigorous cost-benefit analysis make sure you're getting a real return on your investment in observability.
