DevOps Foundations: Monitoring and Observability
In this course, I learned how monitoring and observability work together to ensure system reliability and performance. I explored the core pillars of observability including metrics, logs, and traces, and how they help detect and troubleshoot issues in distributed systems. The course covered various monitoring techniques like APM, synthetics, and infrastructure monitoring, along with best practices for logging and event correlation. I also learned how to use observability signals through dashboards, alerting, and incident management, as well as how concepts like SLIs, SLOs, and SLAs support operational goals. Overall, the course gave me a strong foundation in building and maintaining observable systems.
