Making your Kubernetes-based log collection reliable & durable with Vector
Vector is an Open Source high-performance solution for collecting & processing your observability data. In this talk, I will share our experience using it for log collection in hundreds of Kubernetes clusters. Which features make Vector special, so we preferred it over other solutions? How did we deploy and setup it up in Kubernetes? What were our main challenges in adopting Vector, and how we overcame them? I will also summarise our lessons learned covering K8s logs collection in general.
