Cloud-Native Observability with OpenTelemetry & Prometheus – Online Course
 
Cloud-Native Observability with OpenTelemetry & Prometheus is a comprehensive and hands-on course crafted for DevOps professionals, site reliability engineers (SREs), platform teams, and developers seeking to implement robust observability in Kubernetes and cloud-native environments. This course provides foundational and advanced knowledge in telemetry instrumentation, metrics collection, tracing, logging, and performance analysis using the powerful combination of OpenTelemetry and Prometheus.
 
As cloud-native architectures become increasingly distributed and microservices-driven, observability becomes essential. Traditional monitoring tools fail to provide deep insights into such dynamic systems. Enter OpenTelemetry, the CNCF standard for collecting distributed traces, metrics, and logs from your applications, and Prometheus, the de facto standard for cloud-native metrics collection and alerting.
 
This course equips you to design, implement, and operationalize full-stack observability. You’ll instrument applications with OpenTelemetry SDKs, visualize telemetry data in Grafana, configure Prometheus for metrics scraping and alerting, and integrate both into Kubernetes, cloud platforms, and service meshes.
 
What is Cloud-Native Observability with OpenTelemetry & Prometheus?
 
Cloud-native observability refers to the ability to understand and troubleshoot the behavior of distributed systems in real time, using rich telemetry data like logs, metrics, and traces. It enables faster incident detection, root cause analysis, and proactive performance tuning.
 
OpenTelemetry provides a unified standard to collect telemetry from apps and services in a vendor-neutral way. It supports multiple languages and works with various backends.
 
Prometheus is an open-source metrics-based monitoring tool designed for reliability and scalability in dynamic environments like Kubernetes. It scrapes, stores, and queries metrics and supports advanced alerting through Alertmanager.
 
Together, OpenTelemetry and Prometheus provide a powerful toolchain for deep visibility into system health and performance.
 
 
How to Use This Course Effectively

Interview Questions Back to Top
1. What is observability and how does it differ from monitoring?
Observability is the ability to understand internal states of a system through external outputs. Unlike traditional monitoring, observability includes metrics, logs, and traces for deep analysis.
 
2. What are the core components of Prometheus?
Prometheus includes a time-series database, a scraping engine, a query language (PromQL), an alerting system (Alertmanager), and a visualization layer (often Grafana).
 
3. What types of metrics does Prometheus support?
Prometheus supports counters, gauges, histograms, and summaries to capture different types of telemetry data.
 
4. What is OpenTelemetry and what does it offer?
OpenTelemetry is an open-source project for collecting telemetry data (traces, metrics, logs) in a vendor-agnostic way. It provides SDKs, collectors, and exporters.
 
5. How do you integrate OpenTelemetry with Prometheus?
Use the OpenTelemetry Collector with Prometheus Exporter or OTLP receivers to push data into Prometheus-compatible backends.
 
6. What is a trace span in OpenTelemetry?
A span represents a single unit of work in a trace. It contains information like name, duration, and attributes and is used to build end-to-end traces.
 
7. How do you visualize OpenTelemetry traces?
Traces collected via OpenTelemetry can be sent to tools like Jaeger, Zipkin, or Grafana Tempo for visualization and analysis.
 
8. What is PromQL used for?
PromQL (Prometheus Query Language) is used to query metrics, define alerts, and build dashboards based on Prometheus-collected data.
 
9. How does Alertmanager work with Prometheus?
Alertmanager receives alerts from Prometheus, deduplicates them, groups them, and routes them to notifications like Slack, email, or PagerDuty.
 
10. Why is observability critical in Kubernetes environments?
Kubernetes introduces dynamic scaling and ephemeral components, making it hard to debug without observability. Metrics, traces, and logs provide insight into the behavior of clusters and services.
