Application Observability
The Container Observability platform provides three perspectives of the application environment:
Application: the core components of the application include the containers, functions, persistence layers, and other services that work together to deliver the business functionality to the users and the organization. Examples are the web application container and an AWS RDS database.
Orchestrator: the orchestrator (Kubernetes now) is the software layer that manages the provisioning, resourcing and lifecycle of the application components. The orchestrator has a set of objects that work to perform this function. Examples are Ingress Controllers, Deployments and Services.
Infrastructure: the compute, storage and networking layers on which the Orchestrator deploys and manages the application components. Examples are a VM instance and an AWS ELB Load Balancer.
