Learning Grafana through Practice - {{ x86-64, arm64 }}

⚓ Kubernetes Dashboard with Grafana
We can make it easier and more effective.

📢 Hands-on update to Kubernetes v1.30!

• On June 16, 2024, the Kubernetes labs were updated to match v1.30.
• Accordingly, ch2 has been changed to a form commonly used in all lectures, and the Grafana distribution that was previously in ch2 has been changed to 2.11.
• Also changed the base operating system from CentOS 7 to Ubuntu 22.04.
• There is no additional footage filmed for the v1.30 update.
• The existing reinforcement is saved in A, and after v1.30, it will proceed to B.
• 🎉 Now officially supporting Mac silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4 / arm64) 😄

• Grafana is not used alone, but is organically linked to the infrastructure system, so prior knowledge of Kubernetes and Prometheus, which are the current infrastructure systems, is absolutely necessary . If you do not have this prior knowledge, it will be difficult to proceed with the lecture, so please make sure to check the relevant content.
• If you want to understand the lecture content including the above, we recommend that you first watch the 3.3. Classifying Various Types of Panels by Usability or 5.2. Changing Units (w Time series) lectures that are available for free as a preview .
• If you feel that the above content is sufficient and that the current lecture list will be helpful, I recommend that you proceed with the lecture.

📖 We provide OVA (Open Virtualization Archive) and Qcow2 (QEMU copy on write) image files.

Q. Can I take this course without taking the pre-course 『Learning Prometheus through Practice』?

I want more people to learn the wonders of Grafana, but... Grafana is in an area that cannot be understood without knowing Prometheus, so I highly, highly recommend that you listen to the pre-lecture, 『Learn Prometheus through Practice』, and take the course. If you understand all the contents of the lecture, then you can of course skip it, but since it is a continuous lecture, I will just mention the contents explained in the lecture and move on.

For a more accurate judgment, it would be a good idea to look at the contents of the Prometheus lecture table of contents for learning through practice .

Q. Do I have to learn Grafana through this course?

To be honest, 'no'. The best textbook is the official Grafana documentation . However, the official documentation is difficult to define from the beginning, where to start and how to learn. For example, you can think of the official Grafana documentation as a textbook, and this lecture as a reference book. However, in my personal opinion, the official Grafana documentation is not a textbook that is not organized as kindly as Prometheus, so I think you can learn Grafana more effectively by looking at the reference book first.

Q. Can I learn everything about Grafana just by taking this course?

As mentioned in previous lectures (Easy Start with Kubernetes, Learning Kubernetes with Pictures), it is impossible to teach everything about a product in a few dozen hours of online/offline lectures. However, all the core parts of Grafana are covered, and I am confident that there is no domestic lecture that covers it from this perspective.

We will also continuously update content that will be helpful from a business perspective.
