Kubernetes Monitoring
Workshop

A four-day workshop for building a complete Kubernetes monitoring stack with Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki. Participants install the stack via kube-prometheus-stack and Grafana Operator, write PromQL and LogQL queries, configure alerting, and define SLOs for their services. Day 4 covers scaling, performance tuning, and an end-to-end final project. Prerequisite: advanced Kubernetes knowledge.
