Summer is the perfect time to step back from the alert stream and revisit the ideas your whole monitoring practice quietly rests on. Not the newest tool or the shiniest dashboard — the fundamentals: what to measure, how to read it, when to wake someone up, and what to do when something breaks at 2 a.m. We packed six of those fundamentals into a free, no-signup PDF — The DevOps & Monitoring Summer Workbook, complete with hands-on exercises and an answer key.
