Observability-Landscape-as-Code in Practice

Terraform

We wanted to showcase OLaC principles with a real-life example using modern cloud-native tooling...Which means using Kubernetes for our cloud infrastructure with Google Cloud’s Kubernetes offering, GKE. Now, since we are good practitioners of OLaC and SRE, we won’t just be setting things up through the clickity click of a UI. No sirreee. Instead, we’ll be #automatingAllTheThings using HashiCorp Terraform. Terraform allows us to do infrastructure-as-code (IaC), and gives us tons of added benefits like better control over our resources and standardization. Key principles in OLaC and IaC.

Prometheus

The best part is that you don’t need to install and maintain a Prometheus instance to be able to run it! But wait…there’s more! You also don’t need to use Lightstep as your Observability back-end in order to take advantage of this special Collector! How cool is that??

Open Telemetry

We will be deploying OpenTelemetry Demo App to our cluster. The Demo App has been instrumented using OpenTelemetry, and will send Traces and Metrics through the OpenTelemetry Collector to Lightstep.

Kube-state-metrics

We then have various other Metrics called Kubernetes Workload Metrics. These are the dashboards with names that start with “Kubernetes / Compute Resources / Workload”. These dashboards are specific to the services you are running. They take into account the Kubernetes Workloads in your various namespaces, using kube-state-metrics. For a closer look, check out otel_demo_app_k8s_dashboard.tf.
