Description

This 1-virtual day course is targeted to Site Reliability Engineers, DevOps Engineers, and Application Developers who deploy on and/or who manage Kubernetes clusters. This course teaches the skills you need to monitor and troubleshoot your Kubernetes infrastructure with Splunk. We teach how to track and alert on the status of your installation using built-in tools focused on Kubernetes. You will learn to introspect clusters from multiple perspectives and identify potential trouble-indicators. Through in-person discussions and hands-on activities learn multiple ways you can view and automate the monitoring of your clusters and running jobs.
