DevOps Institute: Observability Foundation

Microservices and Cloud-Native architectures have been goals of many organizations to help increase speed and agility, but as complexity grows, systems become increasingly challenging to observe. When issues occur, these issues are often difficult to triage and identify the root causes. This course introduces a range of practices for advancing resilience and how to architect end-to-end Observability for Cloud-Native applications. The advantages of building full-stack metrics, events, logs, and distributed tracing are introduced, along with the impact of DevSecOps on Observability and how AIOPs enhance Observability capabilities. This course also covers how Network and Security Observability plays a key role in building reliability, the key aspects of security operations and automated responses are covered.

Upon completion of the course, participants will have tangible takeaways to leverage situations such as implementing MELT models effectively, that fit their organizational context, building distributed tracing and resiliency by design.

The course is developed by leveraging key experts in the fields of telemetry, sources of knowledge and engaging with thought-leaders in the Observability space and working with organizations who have crossed the chasm of modern Observability to extract real-life best practices.

This course positions learners to successfully complete the Observability Foundation certification exam.

It is highly recommended that learners attend the SRE Foundation course and earn the SRE Foundation certification prior to attending the Observability Foundation course and exam.
