Logging in Kubernetes

In this section, you will learn about the types of logs available in a Kubernetes cluster. Kubernetes logs can be categorized based on their origin and the level of detail they provide, such as node-level logs, container logs, and control plane component logs. Understanding these categories is essential for designing a logging strategy that captures activity across all critical layers of the Kubernetes environment. This section will also cover Kubernetes’ notable event records within the cluster, which play an important role in understanding the behavior of workloads and resources. Also, you will learn about log aggregation practices, which involve collecting logs and events from across the cluster into a centralized system (SIEM or observability platform). Log aggregation is critical for effective monitoring, troubleshooting, correlation of incidents, and compliance auditing in a distributed environment such as Kubernetes.
