Lightning Talk: What I Wish I’d Known about Fluentd with Kubernetes - Bryan Boreham, Weaveworks (Beginner Skill Level)

Fluentd is really powerful, but configuring it for best performance and getting the most out of it is not easy. Bryan spent several weeks tuning Fluentd on a production Kubernetes cluster, uploading to Loggly. Highlights include: installing as a daemonset, using buffered writes, adding a syslog reader, debugging your config, and security considerations.
