🚀 New on LearnKube: "Kubelet Metrics: How cAdvisor and CRI Collect Kubernetes Stats."

Kubernetes metrics often look like a Prometheus topic, but the data originates much lower in the stack.

This guide explains how kubelet collects and exposes pod, container, node, and resource metrics, and how that path changes when stats move from cAdvisor to the container runtime through CRI.

You will learn:

- how Linux cgroups provide the raw counters behind container metrics
- where cAdvisor fits inside kubelet
- what kubelet exposes through /metrics, /metrics/cadvisor, /metrics/resource, and /stats/summary
- how containerd and CRI-O can return pod and container stats through CRI
- why the same kubelet endpoint can hide a different internal collection path
