This Splunk Observability Cloud lab is a guided, read-only environment designed to teach how Splunk Observability Cloud is used to monitor and troubleshoot modern infrastructure and applications. You will explore a live trial environment that includes Kubernetes clusters with active workloads, on-premises host fleets, and instrumented microservices, then navigate built-in dashboards, APM service views, alert detectors, and the metric catalog. The lab also emphasizes operational workflows, including infrastructure investigation, application performance analysis, and alert triage.
