Who has used Kubernetes?

Who has used Prometheus?

https://jackiechen.org/2015/05/19/understanding-kubernetes/

Questions we got asked

It is so new, what do I even monitor?

How do I monitor my apps?Just expose /metrics !

What if I can’t/don’t want to expose /metrics? Push!

Can we just use Nagios?

Seniors sysadmins had hard questions:Uptime

Data persistence

Scalability

Culture change through Prometheus

Devs own the metrics

Devs can spin up a prometheus for themselves

BUT

What would I do differently?Start with grafana

Show how HA works

Share the success stories

Help devs with exporters a lot more

There are now so many resources availableMany more success stories.

Much bigger community

Talked about at conferences and even has its own PromCon

Even more learning resources

Excellent dashboards available out of the box
