About the assignment

In this assignment, you will explore methods to improve observability within cloud-native environments. Focus on challenges such as monitoring microservices, implementing effective logging, and tracing requests across distributed systems like Kubernetes. You are expected to propose innovative solutions that enhance system visibility—such as using distributed tracing tools, advanced logging frameworks, or telemetry data analysis—to provide deeper insights into system performance and behavior. Your findings should be compiled into a concise report and presented to demonstrate how your proposed solutions can lead to quicker issue resolution, better performance tuning, and overall improved system reliability.

Depending on your study and personal interests, the emphasis within the assignment can be adjusted.
