Terraform in Action: Building the Private Cluster

Learn step-by-step to configure Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager on Kubernetes for pod and node alerts.

Monitoring and alerting are essential for ensuring the reliability, scalability, and performance of modern Kubernetes environments. This course is designed to help you master Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager so you can build a production-ready monitoring and alerting system tailored for Kubernetes clusters.

Build a Hands-On Monitoring and Alerting System for Kubernetes

• Learn how to install and configure the Prometheus stack with Helm

• Build and customize Grafana dashboards for real-time visibility

• Create powerful Prometheus alert rules for pods, nodes, and storage

• Configure Alertmanager for email notifications and routing alerts

• Automate infrastructure setup with Terraform for efficiency

Master Kubernetes Monitoring With Real-World Scenarios

You’ll start by learning how to provision servers manually on AWS before moving to infrastructure automation with Terraform. This approach ensures you understand both manual setup and automated workflows. From there, you’ll deploy the Prometheus stack, configure services, and connect monitoring components inside Kubernetes.

The course emphasizes real-world alerting by teaching you how to design custom Prometheus rules, integrate SMTP for real-time email alerts, and organize alerts using labels for better scalability. You’ll also learn best practices for observability, including setting thresholds, designing effective alerts, and visualizing metrics with Grafana dashboards.

By the end of this course, you’ll have the knowledge and hands-on experience to build, configure, and manage a production-grade monitoring system for Kubernetes — skills that are highly valued for DevOps, SRE, and cloud engineering roles.
