StackState: Observability for Cloud Native Environments

We just launched our observability tool for cloud-native applications and environments! This new platform helps SREs, running applications on Amazon AWS and Kubernetes, prevent and resolve issues much quicker. We know this is something many SRE and DevOps teams have been longing for. Cloud environments that host business-critical applications are continuously changing. Because of this, when performance and reliability issues arise, it can be incredibly difficult to locate where the problem started or prevent it in the first place.

Elastic: Introduction to Elasticsearch architecture and Kibana dashboarding

Everyone talks about Elasticsearch, but not everyone has had a primer on how the architecture works and how you interact with it. Learn about architecture principles, sharding, high availability, disaster recovery, indexes, and APIs. With this as a foundation, learn how to use Kibana to create troubleshooting dashboards using HTTP logs.
