As with all start-ups, especially for a cloud provider, access to funds is imperative to build and scale quickly – after all building out new data centre regions doesn't come cheap! So in recent months we quietly opened a seed round to acquire $2.8m worth of funding – giving Civo a pre-money valuation of $16,800,000.

In my first post in the Kubernetes Logging Simplified blog series, I touched on some of the ‘need to know’ concepts and architectures to effectively manage your application logs in Kubernetes – providing steps on how to implement a Cluster-level logging solution to debug and analyze your application workloads. In my second post, I’m going to touch on another signal to keep an eye on: Kubernetes events.
System and application logs provide crucial data for operators and developers to troubleshoot and keep applications healthy. Google Cloud automatically captures log data for its services and makes it available in Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring. As you add more services to your fleet, tasks such as determining a budget for storing logs data and performing granular cross-project analysis can become challenging.
