Logging Operator the Cloud Native Fluent Ecosystem - Sandor Guba, Cisco

The Kubernetes logging ecosystem does not support the native Kubernetes concepts. This is the reason behind the open-source project called Logging Operator. Moreover, the easy scaling of workloads results in a massive amount of logs produced. This can cause extremely huge bills on your analytics deployment (both SaaS and self-hosted). Some of the key features are namespace isolation, supporting label selectors, filtering, and using secrets for credentials. It is more than 3 years old and already deployed in production environments. Sandor will introduce the challenges of configuring a complex logging stack on Kubernetes and summarise the lessons learned of writing, supporting, and operating the Logging Operator.
