To get the most out of this book
You will need to have some level of hands-on experience with Prometheus, a basic understanding of server administration, and – ideally – some prior experience with Kubernetes. The lab environment used throughout this book is based on Kubernetes, but all commands used to interact with Kubernetes are explicitly stated. Therefore, prior Kubernetes knowledge is not required, but it will certainly aid in deeper understanding and enable further experimentation outside of what is covered in the book.
