About this video
What You'll Learn
- Set up a distributed Thanos architecture using multiple Prometheus instances with sidecars and a querier for global querying.
- Upload Prometheus data blocks from sidecars to S3-compatible object storage and query long-term history.
- Run live demos for Store Gateway and Compactor features, including downsampling, HA deduplication behavior, and troubleshooting connectivity issues.
Bartek Plotka walks through Thanos, the CNCF project that extends Prometheus with global query, HA deduplication, and long-term storage. Covers the Sidecar, Querier, Store Gateway, and Compactor, plus a live demo running three Prometheus servers against MinIO.
