DevOps Community

This page collects articles of immense relevance to the DevOps community at large. It goes beyond just tutorials and introductions to basic concepts for beginners or installation guides. It also includes helpful advice for careers, what to learn next, best practices, and keeps a pulse on new trends and technology relevant to developers.

Subject-wise, below you will find best practices for logging and log management from experts for experts and beginners to log analysis. We go in depth on the ELK Stack and its major components: tutorials on Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana and Beats (including Metricbeat and Filebeat). We also cover other tools like Fluentd, Prometheus, Graphite, Logz.io Sawmill, Grafana and more. Introductions and how-to guides are available for all levels of expertise: beginner, intermediate and experts.

Most critically, you will find reflection and advice for your career. What should you focus on? What should you learn next? What do you need to know about logs for your particular job?

Even more helpfully, we provide general advice to the DevOps community on career development. Check this page for helpful tips on landing devops jobs, preparing for devops interviews and tests, what kind of questions to expect in certain kinds of interviews (including from the logging world), and more.
