Use Liveness and Readiness Probes
Kubernetes provides liveness and readiness probes that can be used to monitor the health of
individual microservices.
▪ Liveness probes check to see if a microservice is still running, and readiness probes check to
see if a microservice is ready to receive traffic.
▪ Use Monitoring Tools
Monitoring tools can be used to monitor the health and performance of microservices that can
be integrated with Kubernetes to provide alerts or notifications when issues arise. I.e.
Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog.
▪ Use Log Analysis Tools
Analyze log messages generated by your microservices and identify issues or trends. Elastic
Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), Fluentd, Splunk.
▪ Set up Alerts and Notifications
Setting up alerts and notifications can help to ensure that relevant parties are notified when
issues arise, allowing them to be addressed quickly. Slack, Teams, Email, SMS.
