Observability

We turned a production OpenSearch stack into a reusable Ankra stack profile. The parameterisation exercise turned into an audit, and it found credentials that went nowhere, a security config that was never applied, and a retention policy pointed at every index in the cluster.

Prometheus is the right first monitoring stack for almost everyone, and the wrong last one for a growing minority. An honest comparison of the two, the cardinality wall that forces the question, and how to run either (or both) on Ankra.

Every logging decision is secretly one question: how much of your log data do you index? A working comparison of Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Grafana Loki, and cloud services like GCP Logs Explorer, with real pricing math and a decision framework.
