Streamline Java Application Deployment: Pack, Ship, and Unlock Distributed Tracing with Elastic APM on Kubernetes
In my last article, I dug into Distributed Tracing and exposed how to enable it in Java applications. We didn’t see yet how to deploy an application on Kubernetes and get distributed tracing insights. Several strategies can be considered, but the main point is how to minimize the impact of deploying APM agents on the whole delivery process.
In this article, I will expose how to ship APM agents for instrumenting Java applications deployed on top of Kubernetes through Docker containers.
