Observability is the key tenet of running a multi-tenant Kubernetes environment. In this talk, I’ll cover the what, why, and how of setting up multi-tenant Observability using open-source tools. This multi-tenant system supported 800+ B2B customers across multiple public clouds and private data centers.

I recently worked on setting up this multi-tenant observability stack for one of the largest health-tech companies in India. We built this using open-source tooling on Kubernetes. The system was designed to handle 10000s of metrics from each tenant and support long-term storage and querying of these metrics.

Takeaways for the audience:

- Learn how to evaluate open-source tooling for large-scale observability needs.

- Understand the challenges related to security, cost, data separation, etc, for multi-tenant observability.

- Learn how a homogenous infrastructure setup allows you to automate, optimize, and maintain an observability stack at scale.
