This course establishes a baseline for AIOps by utilizing Prometheus for managing time-series metrics produced by Node Exporter and cAdvisor. The course guides the student through the fundamental concepts required for AIOps and the use of streaming metrics to influence autoscaling. The culmination of the course is the integration of the Prometheus rules with the Kubernetes APIServer to scale nodes in an active Kubernetes cluster.Interactive Diagram: https://interactive.linuxacademy.com/diagrams/AIOpsEssentials.html
