GitOpsCon North America 2022

Fast iteration is enabled by GitOps, but when things don't work you are going to want access to a dashboard that provides rich granular information from various sources. Flux's guide to Prometheus Monitoring is presented here with a VPN solution that provides routed access to the cluster's service and pod subnets, with simple service discovery through kube-dns extended to the developer's laptop. How to expose it to our developers without "exposing" it to the world without compromising anything? We will use Tailscale, a free and open source VPN solution. The new Flux VS Code extension provides the basest form of Cloud-Native observability: Flux resources report their own status and condition in the Kubernetes way, as CRD resources, and the editor extension makes quick work of interpreting them and displaying the important parts, which makes diagnosing delivery issues in your GitOps pipeline fast and easy. And when the problem is not in a GitOps pipeline, or anything that is exported to Prometheus, but some performance issue in the deliverable software: Pixie provides a super-modern spin on observability with eBPF scripts that work in an agentless way without app configuration.
