Overview of CNCF Landscape (Prometheus, Fluentd, Envoy, etc.)

The CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) hosts many open-source projects that support the Kubernetes ecosystem. These tools cover monitoring, logging, service mesh, tracing, security, and more.

Key CNCF Projects:

• Prometheus: Metrics collection and alerting
• Fluentd: Log collection and aggregation
• Envoy: High-performance proxy for service mesh
• Jaeger: Distributed tracing system
• Linkerd: Lightweight service mesh
• OpenTelemetry: Standard for metrics, logs, and traces

These tools are often used in combination to build observability stacks and improve application reliability in Kubernetes environments.
