Rodrigue Chakode discusses challenges with monitoring cloud native applications and introduces RealOpInsight as a solution. RealOpInsight provides federated and unified operations monitoring across multiple sources like Kubernetes, Icinga, Nagios, and Zabbix. It aggregates data to provide high-level observability of application and service health. A demo shows RealOpInsight integrating monitoring from an Icinga source, Kubernetes source, and Zabbix source to provide status overview, dependency mapping, historical analytics and Grafana integration in a single view.

7. Cloud-native TraitsCloud-native Traits
Resiliency - agility - operability - observability
Operability → e.g. graceful degradation
High volatility of microservices' components (i.e.
containers)

Garrison & Kris Nova, O'Reilly, 2018.

8. ObservabilityObservability is aboutis about
monitoringmonitoring
Health reporting - Telemetry data
Health reporting → to know components' state
Telemetry → helps to make decisions (e.g. SLA
analytics)

monitoring?monitoring?
Traditional tied monitoring configuration cannot
address the volatility of microservices' components
External probes appear irrelevant as each
microservice already reports its state
Current observability mainly focuses at the
bottom of applications with telemetry, logging &
tracing (e.g. Prometheus, Istio, Jaeger...)
