Deploys Prometheus for system monitoring and alerting, including service discovery and PromQL queries
Original Description
This course equips professionals with the skills to effectively monitor systems using Prometheus, a leading open-source monitoring and alerting tool. Understanding observability and leveraging Prometheus is critical for maintaining high-performing, reliable IT infrastructures.
Learners will gain hands-on experience deploying Prometheus, configuring service discovery, writing PromQL queries, and implementing alerts. Practical exercises ensure you can measure, analyze, and visualize system performance to support operational decisions.
Unlike typical tutorials, this course blends theoretical knowledge with real-world scenarios, covering advanced topics like sharding, federation, Thanos integration, and CI/CD pipelines, providing a comprehensive approach to monitoring modern systems.
IT professionals, developers, and SREs with basic knowledge of Linux and networking will benefit. Familiarity with cloud or containerized environments enhances understanding but is not mandatory.
