  Getting Kubernetes Observability Right: From Cluster Metrics to Application Health  What is Kubernetes and Why Observability is Crucial ?? Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that helps manage, scale, and deploy containerized applications across a cluster of machines. It automates many operations like scaling, recovery, and service discovery, making it easier to run applications reliably in production.  However, Kubernetes introduces complexity with its distributed architecture and dynamic nature containers can start and stop at any time, pods shift across nodes, and resources can change rapidly. This makes traditional monitoring tools insufficient. That’s where observability comes in. Observability isn’t just seeing if something is up or down; it’s about gaining deep visibility into the internal state of your system.  In Kubernetes, this means understanding cluster performance, application health, pod status, and user experience.

SERVERLESS DEPLOYMENT OF WEB APPLICATION (PART 2) !! Creating an API to Trigger AWS Lambda & Hosting a Static Web App Using S3 To build a serverless architecture, you can use AWS Lambda for backend processing and Amazon S3 to host a static web app. Triggering Lambda via API Gateway : Create an AWS Lambda function with your required logic. Set up an API Gateway to expose an HTTP endpoint. Integrate the API Gateway with the Lambda function to handle requests. Deploy the API and test it using a client or Postman. Hosting a Static Web App Using S3 : Upload your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files to an S3 bucket. Enable static website hosting in the S3 bucket settings. Set the correct bucket policy and CORS configuration for public access (if needed). Use CloudFront for improved performance and security. This setup allows you to build scalable web applications with minimal infrastructure management.  Do search for the amazon "API Gateway" in the ...
