Course Overview
Observability is essential for operating reliable cloud-native applications and infrastructure. This coaching programme develops practical monitoring and observability skills using Prometheus and Grafana.
The programme aligns with the knowledge domains of the Prometheus Certified Associate (PCA) certification and introduces the core concepts required for metrics monitoring, alerting, and observability-driven operations.
Across two intensive days, participants practise collecting metrics, writing queries using PromQL, configuring alerts, and building dashboards used by modern DevOps and site reliability engineering teams.
Learners gain the ability to monitor applications and infrastructure, detect incidents early, and analyse operational performance using industry-standard observability tools.
Hands-On Learning
Participants practise configuring Prometheus monitoring pipelines, writing PromQL queries, and building operational dashboards in Grafana.
Mentor-Led Sessions
Industry mentors guide learners through monitoring architectures used in cloud-native and Kubernetes environments.
