Prerequisites
To get the most from this course then you should have some exposure to GCP resources, such as Kubernetes Engine, App Engine, Cloud Functions, Cloud Launcher, and Deployment Manager. However, this is not essential.
When you enable logging for a Kubernetes cluster, the logs are stored in a dedicated, persistent datastore. Such logs include the admin activity log, the data access log, and the events log.
These logs include information on several types of GKE-related resource types. For example, when you enable monitoring and logging, you'll start capturing information about the Kubernetes cluster itself, as well as for GKE cluster operations. You'll also capture data for the GKE container and for GKE node pool operations.
It's important to note that although GKE stores these logs, these logs are not stored permanently. For example, if you remove a pod, the GKE container logs associated with this pod are also removed. Logs are also removed when the disk on which the logs are stored runs out of space, or when logs are overwritten by newer logs.
You should also be aware that logging is actually a Google Cloud Platform service that's separate from GKE.
In the next lesson, I'll show you how to enable Kubernetes monitoring and logging.
