DevOps monitoring and observability¶
DevOps monitoring and observability refers to the practices involved in collecting, analyzing, and understanding telemetry data from software systems. In the provided reference context, this topic is specifically applied to cloud-native environments using Kubernetes and the Istio service mesh^[400-devops-07-monitoring-and-observability-k8s-istio-samples-bookinfo-platform-kube-readme.md].
Implementation Context¶
The practical application of these concepts is demonstrated using the Bookinfo sample application^[400-devops-07-monitoring-and-observability-k8s-istio-samples-bookinfo-platform-kube-readme.md]. This application serves as a standard example for observing microservice interactions within a service mesh.
Detailed instructions for setting up and viewing the observability features for this sample are maintained in the official external^[400-devops-07-monitoring-and-observability-k8s-istio-samples-bookinfo-platform-kube-readme.md].
