Telemetry Strategy

Define the metrics, logs, traces and events required to understand service health.

Objective: Create an actionable telemetry model aligned to user journeys and operational risk.

Practical guidance

Prepare and design

01

Identify critical services and user journeys

Apply this point to a real Docker Academy design, delivery or operational scenario and record the evidence used to validate the outcome.

02

Define golden signals and diagnostic data

Apply this point to a real Docker Academy design, delivery or operational scenario and record the evidence used to validate the outcome.

03

Set retention, access and cost boundaries

Apply this point to a real Docker Academy design, delivery or operational scenario and record the evidence used to validate the outcome.

Practical guidance

Operate and improve

01

Instrument applications and infrastructure

02

Validate signal quality and correlation

Apply this point to a real Docker Academy design, delivery or operational scenario and record the evidence used to validate the outcome.

03

Remove blind spots and duplicate telemetry

Apply this point to a real Docker Academy design, delivery or operational scenario and record the evidence used to validate the outcome.

Practical guidance

Evidence and governance

01

Publish ownership and data standards
