Get started with Kubernetes observability
This page provides instructions for deploying the Dynatrace Operator for Kubernetes monitoring.
To gain a more comprehensive view of your environment that includes aspects such as application observability and user experience, you should consider combining Kubernetes observability with Application Observability if you are on a Dynatrace Platform Subscription (DPS) or use cloud native full stack mode if you are on Dynatrace classic licensing.
