Dive deep into the Prometheus Operator with this conference talk by Red Hat experts Jayapriya Pai and Haoyu Sun. Explore common usage patterns, practical examples, and advanced features of this popular solution for monitoring Kubernetes workloads. Learn about securing Prometheus with TLS, enabling robust remote write, and operating AlertManager via Prometheus Operator. Gain insights into monitoring and operating aspects of the Prometheus Operator itself, drawing from first-hand experience of maintaining it in thousands of OpenShift clusters. Discover the architecture, Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs), and components like ServiceMonitors, PodMonitors, PrometheusRules, and Probes. Understand how monitoring works, alerting mechanisms, security considerations, and limitations of the Prometheus Operator. Get a glimpse into the future of this technology and walk away with valuable takeaways for implementing and optimizing your Kubernetes monitoring setup.
