kube-prometheus VS charts

The last one is mostly an observability stack with Prometheus, Metric server, and Prometheus adapter to have excellent insights into what is happening on the cluster. You can reuse the same stack for autoscaling by repurposing all the data collected for monitoring.

kustomize Kube Prometheus

On the other hand, the Kube-prometheus project provides documentation and scripts to operate end-to-end Kubernetes cluster monitoring using the Prometheus Operator, making easier the process of monitoring the Kubernetes cluster.

For our load testing we’ve deployed Temporal on Kubernetes, and we’re using MySQL for the persistence backend. The MySQL instance has 4 CPU cores and 32GB RAM, and each Temporal service (Frontend, History, Matching, and Worker) has 2 pods, with requests for 1 CPU core and 1GB RAM as a starting point. We’re not setting CPU limits for our pods—see our upcoming Temporal on Kubernetes post for more details on why. For monitoring we’ll use Prometheus and Grafana, installed via the kube-prometheus stack, giving us some useful Kubernetes metrics.

The 2 most common approaches I have seen are kube-prometheus-stack and kube-prometheus..

- I'm missing a lot of the Grafana dashboards that are provisioned during the deployment, not sure why as it has worked before, and wanted to add them after install... I believe it's different ConfigMaps like the one in kube-prometheus but I was wondering if there's a way to force provisioning them all again at once (multiple k8s, node_exporter, vm, etc)?

Check out the kube Prometheus project -- https://github.com/prometheus-operator/kube-prometheus It's a bit heavy, but the included recording rules and dashboards give you a great start at understanding your cluster.

Here’s a list of what’s installed: https://github.com/prometheus-operator/kube-prometheus/tree/main/manifests

Both of these examples seem pretty obvious and something you wouldn’t mess up, but as your chart grows, so does your values.yaml file. A great example is the Redis chart by Bitnami. I encourage you to scroll through its values file. See you in a minute!

We will write a Terraform module that will take a list of configurations for each required RabbitMQ instance. Luckily for us, we don't have to write the Kubernetes yaml configurations since the helm charts by Bitnami does a great job of doing all the things we discussed above. All we need to do is leverage Terraform Helm Provider and deploy the chart with the required values for our use case.

💡  The full details of helm charts can be referenced in their associated GitHub Repository.

I have a configmap with the ndjson set up under data:, similar to https://github.com/bitnami/charts/issues/6159 and it's subsequent answer.

This way, you can easily deploy any Helm charts from this public repo - https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami in just minutes.

The Bitnami Github Pages themselves usually cover everything you need to know. Configure a values.yaml file, or modify that to your liking, and you run helm install, as written in their docs.

The actual reason that our pods are not coming up is found when we review the helm installation that we are trying to run. If you check the dependencies in the GitHub repository (https://github.com/bitnami/charts/blob/main/bitnami/drupal/values.yaml) you find out that persistent storage is enabled by default and set to 8Gi. Also, the helm package uses MariaDB and the database size is specified to a default of 8Gi, thus setting the minimum storage for this installation to be 16Gi.

We're using https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/spark, but I have heard good things about https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/spark-on-k8s-operator as well. Hudi should not need any long running deployments as per the docs https://hudi.apache.org/docs/0.5.1/deployment/#deploying

Bitnami has its own scaffolding published at https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/template
