About this course
This course develops practical capability in Jaeger. Its course-specific content covers Tracing foundations, Jaeger architecture, Trace investigation, Tracing lab, followed by an applied project focused on trace and diagnose a multi-service request. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Administrators, developers and practitioners who work with Jaeger or plan to take on responsibilities in this area.
Before you start
Basic computer literacy and a foundational understanding of monitoring, observability & sre. Prior experience with the named product helps with the practical exercises.
Trace and diagnose a multi-service request
Deliver trace and diagnose a multi-service request. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
