Kubernetes observability encapsulates monitoring, logging, and tracing mechanisms crucial for understanding and optimizing the performance of Kubernetes clusters. Through a combination of metrics collection, log aggregation, and distributed tracing, it provides insight into the health, behavior, and interactions of containerized applications running within the Kubernetes environment. By leveraging observability tools and practices, organizations can effectively manage the complexity of their Kubernetes deployments, ensuring scalability, resilience, and operational excellence.
