Editor’s note: This is a follow up to a recent post on how to use Cloud Logging with containerized applications running in Google Kubernetes Engine. In this post, we’ll focus on how DevOps teams can use Cloud Monitoring and Logging to find issues quickly. Running containerized apps on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is a way for a DevOps team to focus on developing apps, rather than on the operational tasks required to run a secure, scalable and highly available Kubernetes cluster.

Whether you’re a developer debugging an application or on the DevOps team monitoring applications across several production clusters, logs are the lifeblood of the IT organization. And if you run on top of Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), you can use Cloud Logging, one of the many services integrated into GKE, to find that useful information. Cloud Logging, and its companion tool Cloud Monitoring, are full featured products that are both deeply integrated into GKE.

We’ve heard from our customers that you need visibility into metrics and logs from Google Cloud, other clouds, and on-prem in one place. Google Cloud has partnered with Blue Medora to bring you a single solution to save time and money in managing your logs in a single place. Google Cloud’s operations management suite gives you the same scalable core platform that powers all internal and Google Cloud observability.
