Kubernetes has become a norm for deploying and managing software in a containerized manner. Its ability to dynamically manage microservices and scale has revolutionized software development in current times. However, it is not an easy task to maintain transparency in and monitor availability and performance of Kubernetes clusters. That is where telemetry comes in.

Telemetry in Kubernetes involves collecting, processing, and visualization of cluster information for cluster health, fault diagnostics, and performance optimizations. In this article, we will see why telemetry is significant, key components, tools, and best practice in developing an effective observability stack for Kubernetes.
