Implementing Prometheus and Grafana in a Kubernetes Cluster on EKS

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Shows a step-by-step recipe to build observability on Amazon EKS: create an EKS cluster with eksctl while enabling OIDC, grant permissions using OIDC + IAM Roles for Service Accounts, add a CSI/persistence addon, and then deploy Prometheus and Grafana via Helm. Prometheus is used to scrape Kubernetes metrics and Grafana to visualize them; the demo verifies the cluster, nodes, Helm releases, configured alerting rules, and persistent metric storage (with a few minor demo glitches).
