Microservices and cloud-native architectures have been goals of many organisations to help increase speed and agility, but as complexity grows, systems become increasingly challenging to build observability best practices.

Observability Foundation introduces a range of best practices for building full-stack observability towards advancing resilience in a distributed ecosystem. These best practices include building meaningful traces across temporal topologies, the impact of DevSecOps and AIOps on observability, and a 360-degree view of building mature observability practices.

With Observability Foundation, you will learn about:

• Implementing an Observability culture in your organisation
• Understanding the basic principles of Observability including the Three Pillars and why monitoring alone is not enough
• Adopting OpenTelemetry standards to help achieve innovation and distributed tracing
• Implementing full-stack Observability and distributed tracing to enable a DevSecOps culture
• Understanding levels of the organisational observability maturity to build effective strategies
• Implementing network, container level Observability

Benefits for Organisations

• Understanding of practical implementation of Observability, traces, spans, and their correct interpretations
• Designing Observability in services for higher security and reliability
• Building fault-tolerant distributed ecosystems that can be tested for risks of disaster
• Building AIOps intelligence in operations using the Observability pipeline
• Understanding of other roles and contributing towards creating a better workplace culture
