Learn Prometheus Through Practice - {{ x86-64, arm64 }}
This course is structured with a hands-on approach to help you understand Prometheus (🔥) in the easiest and fastest way possible. 🧭 In particular, it expands upon the proven content from the bestseller 'Kubernetes/Docker for Building Container Infrastructure Environments' to provide even deeper learning of Prometheus itself. 💯 Additionally, practical content is regularly added to the 'supplementary lessons'. I'm confident that there is no other course that covers Prometheus this deeply and comprehensively!
I wanted to study Prometheus in a hurry, but I was a bit confused because of topics like vagrant. The content itself is good.

Personally, I took this course before Grabaku, but I didn't have much trouble following the class.
There were some materials that weren't updated because the OS changed, but the instructor took care of it right away, so I was able to finish it well.
I will also study Grafana diligently.
Thank you to both instructors for your hard work.

📢 Hands-on practice updated to Kubernetes v1.30!
On June 16, 2024, the Kubernetes hands-on exercises were updated to align with v1.30.
Accordingly, ch2 has been changed to a format commonly used throughout the entire course, and the Prometheus deployment that was previously in ch2 has been changed to 2.11.
Additionally, the default operating system has been changed from CentOS 7 to Ubuntu 22.04.
There are no additional videos recorded for the v1.30 update.
The existing supplementary materials are stored in A, and materials after v1.30 will proceed with B.
🎉 Mac Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4 / arm64) is now officially supported. 😄
This course is designed to help you learn 🔥 Prometheus more easily by structurally organizing the difficult parts encountered when learning through documentation, and by practicing all the content hands-on.
💡 Things to know before enrolling in the course
Since Prometheus is not used standalone but is organically integrated with infrastructure systems, prior knowledge of Kubernetes, the current infrastructure system, is essential. Without this prerequisite knowledge, it will be difficult to follow the course, so please make sure to confirm this.
If you find the above content satisfactory and believe the current course curriculum will be helpful to you, I recommend proceeding with the course.

Why should you learn Prometheus?
Prometheus is designed to provide monitoring data for virtually every component running on the Kubernetes infrastructure. As covered in this course, it has a very close relationship with the massive Kubernetes infrastructure, to the extent that major Kubernetes components are already prepared to allow Prometheus to collect metrics. Prometheus not only collects exposed metrics, but also includes various features that process them to make them easier for users to utilize.
Therefore, if you are using or planning to use Kubernetes infrastructure, which has already become almost the standard, Prometheus is an essential area you must learn.
Therefore, if you are already using or planning to use infrastructure like Kubernetes, I hope you can learn Prometheus as quickly as possible and use it to grow into a leading developer/engineer. So why don't we start learning about Prometheus together right now, which may have felt unfamiliar until now? 😃
Features of this course
📕
This is the only specialized Prometheus course in Korea that deeply and extensively focuses on Prometheus alone.
🔎
Starting from the basics of Prometheus, we explain slowly and thoroughly to help learners understand.
🧰
We will introduce in detail everything from practical usage methods of Prometheus in real-world applications.
👨💻
A working Kubernetes engineer and IT open source contributor delivers lectures vividly from a practitioner's perspective.
🚩
Building on the bestselling course 'Mastering Kubernetes for Container Infrastructure', we expand k8s in depth.
💾
For students who have difficulty setting up a Kubernetes lab environment, we provide scripts and manuals for manual installation and configuration.
I've seen many people around me who work with Kubernetes but struggle to handle important components like Prometheus. Even if you've understood Kubernetes through my previous courses "Easy Start with Kubernetes" and "Learning Kubernetes with Diagrams"... in fact, as I mentioned at the end of those courses, Kubernetes is not an infrastructure that you can use by simply understanding Kubernetes alone.
Therefore, this is a lecture that incorporates the concerns of 'How can I teach handling Prometheus in a really easy way?' and 'How can I make it work together within the Kubernetes ecosystem?'
If you complete this course and understand the content, you'll be able to comprehend why the architecture below on the official Prometheus homepage is structured that way and how you can utilize it.

Q&A 💬
Q. Can I take this course without having taken the prerequisite courses "Easy Start to Kubernetes" and "Learn Kubernetes with Illustrations"?
I want more people to learn about the wonders of Prometheus, but... since Prometheus exists in a realm that cannot be understood without knowing Kubernetes, I strongly recommend taking the two prerequisite courses before enrolling. If you already understand all the content of those courses at a proficient level, then naturally you don't need to take them, but since this is a continuation course, content explained in previous lectures will only be mentioned briefly before moving on.
Q. Do I have to learn Prometheus through this course?
To be honest, 'No'. The best textbook is the official Prometheus documentation. However, the official documentation can be difficult to define how to start and how to learn when studying from the beginning. For example, you can think of the official Prometheus documentation as a textbook, and this course as a reference guide. However, in my personal opinion, the official Prometheus documentation is not as well-organized and user-friendly as Kubernetes documentation, so I think starting with a reference guide first would be a more effective way to learn Prometheus.
Q. Will I know everything about Prometheus just by taking this course?
As mentioned in previous courses (Easy Start with Kubernetes, Learning Kubernetes with Diagrams), it's impossible to teach everything about a product in just a few dozen hours of online/offline lectures. However, this course covers all the core aspects of Prometheus, and I'm confident that there are no other domestic courses that approach it from this perspective.
Additionally, content that may be helpful from a practical work perspective will be continuously updated.
Programs and versions used in the course & course source address
We are doing our best to ensure smooth hands-on practice for students, but please understand that we may not be able to help with Vagrant-related errors that occur depending on individual environments.
For those experiencing difficulties with the lab exercises due to (x86-64) Vagrant related errors, we provide an OVA image. (Download link provided at the bottom of lecture 2.3). (Địa chỉ tải xuống được cung cấp ở cuối bài giảng 2.3)
