Last week I held Monitoring options in AKS workshop under my Infrastructure as Code user group.

That was an introduction level workshop that covered monitoring aspects of AKS and we learned:

• What kind monitoring options are available for AKS
• How to monitor AKS with Azure Monitor
• How to collect Prometheus Metrics with Azure Monitor without deploying Prometheus components into your cluster
• How to monitor AKS with Prometheus and Grafana
• How to query and visualize Azure Monitor Logs and Metrics in Grafana with Azure Monitor Data Source

As always, labs are available and you are welcome to work with them.
