Without observability, the benefits of ARM are lost Over the last decade and a half, a new wave of computer architecture has overtaken the world. ARM architecture, based on a processor type optimized for cloud and hyperscale computing, has become the most prevalent on the planet, with billions of ARM devices currently in use. This growth was spurred by mobile ecosystems with Android and iOS operating systems, where ARM has a unique advantage in energy efficiency while offering high performance.

As teams moved their deployment infrastructure to containers, monitoring and logging methods changed a lot. Storing logs in containers or VMs just doesn’t make sense – they’re both way too ephemeral for that. This is where solutions like Kubernetes DaemonSet come in. Since pods are ephemeral as well, managing Kubernetes logs is challenging. That’s why it makes sense to collect logs from every node and send them to some sort of central location outside the Kubernetes cluster for persistence and l
