Abstract
Monitoring is one of the most critical stages in our DevOps journey. Having a good monitoring system in place is crucial for obtaining accurate feedback about the infrastructure and the software we have created and, of course, for overseeing access to the system. In this chapter, I discuss what is fundamental to building an effective monitoring system in Google Cloud Platform (GCP). If someone asks, “Why must I use a monitoring system?” You can reply with this analogy: “Having a large distributed system with no monitoring is like riding a bike, only that you are in Hell, and you and the bike are on fire.”
