How Do You Troubleshoot Distributed Cloud-native Systems? - Internet Infrastructure Explained

How Do You Troubleshoot Distributed Cloud-native Systems? Are you curious about how modern distributed cloud-native systems are kept running smoothly? In this video, we’ll explain the key steps involved in troubleshooting these complex setups. We’ll start by discussing how these systems are built using microservices, containers, and orchestration tools like Kubernetes. You’ll learn how understanding the architecture helps identify where issues may arise. We’ll also cover the importance of monitoring tools that gather logs, metrics, and traces to track system performance and request flows. You’ll see how distributed tracing can pinpoint exactly where delays or failures happen across multiple services.

Network connectivity issues are common in these environments, so we’ll show you how to use tools like ping, traceroute, and tcpdump to analyze network traffic and diagnose problems. We’ll also explain how to inspect containers and orchestration platforms to check for failed pods or resource issues. Gathering logs from all system components into a central location helps reveal patterns and root causes. Additionally, we’ll discuss how to troubleshoot system calls within containers using tools like strace.

Finally, we’ll share tips on automating testing and checks to catch issues early, plus best practices for managing monitoring costs and security. Understanding how network routing, DNS, bandwidth, and data center infrastructure influence system performance is essential for effective troubleshooting. Join us as we explore the detective work behind maintaining healthy distributed cloud-native systems.
