Kubernetes Administrator: The Logging Mechanism

Kubernetes doesn;t provide any native storage solution for log data but it can be integrated with existing logging solutions. You can classify Kubernetes logs and manage them at the application and cluster level to enable observability and identify the root cause of issues. In this course you;ll learn how to do just that.

You;ll kick off by exploring the Logging architecture of Kubernetes clusters the different log types maintained in Kubernetes clusters the Kubernetes architecture that helps manage logging at the node and cluster level best practices for Kubernetes logging the role of the Resource Metrics pipeline and the architecture of Metric server.

Next you;ll configure a Pod specification with a container to write logs to standard output every 5 seconds and return snapshot logs from various Pod types.

Moving on you;ll configure a Pod to write two different log files using different formats create a Pod with two sidecar containers and inspect debug and get logs from applications.

Finally you;ll install the Metric server and use it to manage metrics for Nodes and Pods. You;ll view Pod and Node resource metrics create a Pod with one container attach a Shell and then execute commands in it.

This course is part of a series that aligns with the Certified Kubernetes Administrator exam objectives and can be used in its preparation.
