    Module 1: Observability Principles and the Three Pillars

    • What observability is — and how it differs from monitoring
    • The three pillars: metrics, logs, distributed traces
    • Cardinality, dimensionality, and high-context telemetry
    • Why observability matters for cloud-native and microservices

    Module 2: Metrics, Logs, and Distributed Tracing

    • Metrics: counters, gauges, histograms, and summaries
    • Structured logging and log aggregation patterns
    • Distributed tracing: spans, contexts, and propagation
    • Correlating metrics, logs, and traces for root-cause analysis

    Module 3: SLIs, SLOs, SLAs, and Error Budgets

    • Defining service-level indicators (SLIs) that matter to users
    • Writing meaningful service-level objectives (SLOs)
    • Error budgets: trading reliability for delivery velocity
    • SLA contracts and customer-facing reliability commitments

    Module 4: OpenTelemetry and Telemetry Pipelines

    • OpenTelemetry: SDKs, collectors, and semantic conventions
    • Telemetry pipelines: aggregation, transformation, routing
    • Sampling strategies (head-based, tail-based, dynamic)
    • Cost management for high-cardinality observability data

    Module 5: Alerting Strategy and Incident Response

    • From alert-on-symptom to alert-on-burn-rate
    • Designing on-call rotations and reducing alert fatigue
    • Incident-response runbooks and structured retrospectives
    • Blameless postmortems and continuous-learning loops

    The Observability Skills You Will MasterMetrics, Logs, Traces and More

    This Observability Foundation programme builds practical, vendor-neutral skills across all six modules of the DevOps Institute Body of Knowledge. By the end, you can implement observability in cloud-native systems and are ready to sit the OBSF exam.

    Observability vs Monitoring

    Skills covered in Observability Foundation start with the fundamentals: understand what observability is, how it differs from monitoring, and the three pillars of metrics, logs and distributed traces that reveal a system's internal state.

    Metrics, Logs and Distributed Tracing

    Work with counters, gauges and histograms, structured logging and log aggregation, and spans and trace context. You then correlate all three to find the root cause of production issues in distributed systems.

    SLIs, SLOs, SLAs and Error Budgets

    Define service-level indicators that matter to users, set meaningful objectives, and use error budgets to balance reliability against delivery speed, plus the SLA commitments that face customers.

    OpenTelemetry and Telemetry Pipelines

    Instrument systems with OpenTelemetry, the CNCF vendor-neutral standard, and design telemetry pipelines with sampling strategies and cost controls for high-cardinality observability data.

    Alerting and Incident Response

    Move from alert-on-symptom to burn-rate alerting, design on-call rotations that reduce alert fatigue, and run incident runbooks, blameless postmortems and continuous-learning retrospectives.

    SRE, AIOps and Exam Readiness

    See how observability underpins mature SRE and AIOps practice, then prepare for the 40-question, 60-minute, open-book OBSF exam with structured practice and time-management techniques.
