Learning Kubernetes Through the Lens of Metrics

This conference talk explores how Kubernetes metrics can provide deep insights beyond basic monitoring functions. Discover how metrics reveal enabled features, pod scheduling status, container log space usage, mirror pods, live goroutines, and etcd compaction revisions. Priyanka Saggu and Mario Jason Braganza guide you through different types of Kubernetes metrics and demonstrate how to leverage them for actionable insights, including adding custom metrics to Kubernetes components. Gain a fresh perspective on understanding Kubernetes operations through metrics, whether you're new to the platform or an experienced contributor. The presentation lasts 23 minutes and was delivered at a CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) event.
