This course is given as an intensive two-day workshop introducing learners to the principles, practices, and strategies of modern observability. It goes beyond traditional monitoring to deliver actionable insights across distributed, cloud-native, and microservices architectures. Learners gain a 360-degree view of building resilient systems, including metrics, logs, traces, OpenTelemetry, network and container observability, and organizational maturity models.

DevOps version: This course introduces the Observability principles and is based on the Observability Foundation v1.1 Exam Requirements.

Language

The course, course materials and exam are in English.

Course duration

2 days of learning, including the final exam (scheduled later by the candidate).

Prerequisite

None.

Course structure

This course comprises a series of interactive discussions supplemented by case studies and classroom exercises resembling exams.

Course content

The following elements are covered in this course:

  • Observability Fundamentals: Key concepts, definitions, and cultural impact
  • Observability vs Monitoring: Why monitoring alone is not enough
  • Three Pillars: Logs, metrics, and traces explained
  • OpenTelemetry Standards: Distributed tracing and instrumentation
  • Full-Stack Observability: Containers, network, cloud, and system layers
  • Observability Maturity Models: Assessing and improving observability practice
  • DevSecOps & AIOps Integration: Leveraging observability for security and AI-assisted operations
  • Resilience Strategies: Enhancing reliability in distributed ecosystem

Course objectives

In two days, participants will acquire the knowledge and skills required to:

  • Explain core observability principles, including logs, metrics, and traces.
  • Distinguish observability vs. monitoring and why traditional monitoring is insufficient.
  • Implement an observability culture and maturity model.
  • Apply OpenTelemetry standards for distributed tracing and system insight.
  • Integrate full-stack observability across network, container, and cloud-native environments.
  • Understand how observability can support DevSecOps, AIOps, and resilience strategies.

Target audience

IT professionals and engineers who want to understand and implement comprehensive observability across modern distributed systems.

Course plan

Day 1
  • Introduction to observability concepts and culture
  • Differences between monitoring and observability
  • In-depth view of logs, metrics and traces
  • OpenTelemetry and distributed tracing
Day 2
  • Full-stack observability for containers, network, and cloud
