# Kubernetes Observability Platform
This project demonstrates a production-grade Kubernetes monitoring and alerting system using Grafana and Prometheus on AWS EKS.
---
## 🔧 Tech Stack
- AWS EKS (Kubernetes)
- Prometheus (Monitoring)
- Grafana (Visualization)
- Alertmanager (Alert Routing)
- Kubernetes (Workloads & Metrics)
---
## 📊 Grafana Dashboards
This project includes 4 professional dashboards designed for real-world monitoring:
### 1. System Overview
- Cluster CPU & Memory usage
- Running Pods & Node count
- Resource utilization trends
### 2. Application Performance
- Traffic (Request rate)
- Error trends
- Latency (simulated for demo)
- Pod-level performance
### 3. Infrastructure Metrics
- Node CPU & Memory usage
- Network traffic (Ingress/Egress)
- Node-level performance comparison
### 4. Alerts & Health
- Active / Pending / Resolved alerts
- Alert trends over time
- Alert details table
