Prometheus and Grafana are the de facto standard monitoring stack for Kubernetes clusters. Prometheus is a time-series metrics database that scrapes metrics from Kubernetes components (API server, kubelet, etcd) and from applications via HTTP endpoints in a pull-based model. Grafana is a visualisation platform that queries Prometheus and displays metrics as interactive dashboards. The kube-prometheus-stack […]
Deploying an application to Kubernetes involves creating a set of resource objects that describe the desired state of the application — Kubernetes continuously works to make the actual state match this desired state. The core resources for most applications are: a Deployment (manages the desired number of running pod replicas and handles rolling updates), a […]
