Strategies for Efficient Log Management in Large-Scale Kubernetes Clusters

Aliaksandr Valialkin, #VictoriaMetrics CTO present "Strategies for Efficient hashtag#LogManagement in Large-Scale hashtag#Kubernetes Clusters" at hashtag#FrOSCon. Large #Kubernetes clusters can generate significant volumes of logs, especially when housing thousands of running pods. This may demand substantial CPU, RAM, disk IO, and disk space for storing and querying large log volumes. In this talk, we will look into different strategies of storing those logs in #ElasticSearch, Grafana Loki and #VictoriaLogs and examine how we can save 10x or more on infrastructure costs.

Introduction to Managed Monitoring

Monitoring, in the context of software, is a catch-all term for visibility into infrastructure, or an application. It can encompass metrics, logs, traces, and any other telemetry data that provides information on a running application, server, or another device. Monitoring helps you catch problems before your customers do and speeds up the time to resolution for any problems that do slip through. Managed monitoring is where another company runs part or all of your monitoring system.
