Visualise your Infrastructure with Elastic Stack and Grafana
Details
In previous meetups we've looked at how to create infrastructure (as code) using Terraform in AWS. We also tackled "how to GitHub" covering code collaboration and source control. Now it's time to visualize our infrastructure and see what our servers are actually doing.
In this meetup we'll go through how to setup each component of the Elastic Stack (previously ELK Stack) and use Grafana to visualize the metrics. Joining us will be Michael Down, a Solutions Architecture from the team at Elastic. He'll be sharing his commercial experiences at Elastic and answering our questions.
We've teamed up with the CodeNode as our hosts, attendees will also need to register with them here: https://skillsmatter.com/meetups/11709-london-infrastructure-as-code
This is so they know how many people will be coming and can allocate us a specific room downstairs.
