Who has used Kubernetes?
Who has used Prometheus?

Questions we got asked
It is so new, what do I even monitor?
How do I monitor my apps?Just expose /metrics !
What if I can’t/don’t want to expose /metrics? Push!
Can we just use Nagios?
Seniors sysadmins had hard questions:Uptime
Data persistence
Scalability
Culture change through Prometheus
Devs own the metrics
Devs can spin up a prometheus for themselves
What would I do differently?Start with grafana
