This course introduces the Fluentd and Fluent Bit log forwarding and aggregation tool for use in cloud native logging. Both tools provide fast and efficient log transformation and enrichment, as well as aggregation and forwarding. These capabilities enable both Fluentd and Fluent Bit to realize the concept of a “unified logging layer”, that helps users consume log data collected from all parts of a large scale, distributed system.

Good examples of real-world configurations.

The LAB sections are awesome! There are many hands-on practices that make the idea very clear.

A very structured and detailed exposition of Fluentd, from both a theoretical and practical perspective. Both the lessons and the labs were very in-depth, and enabled me to understand Fluentd at a level that I would not otherwise have attained by just scouring through online examples and documentation.

The course content allowed entering a lab with a comprehensive understanding of the components in use, rather than using the lab to gain that understanding. That allows focus on the component's greater function, rather than its operation.
