Dash0 Raises $110M Series B at $1B Valuation
For monitoring your Kubernetes cluster and workloads there is no faster and easier way than using Dash0's Kubernetes Operator.
The Dash0 Kubernetes operator is designed to easily gather telemetry from your cluster and its deployed workloads. It comes with built-in best practices for Kubernetes, automatic workload identification and instrumentation, and support for configuration as code.
The Dash0 operator for Kubernetes is 100% open source, made of several OpenTelemetry components optimized to provide a great out-of-the-box experience monitoring your Kubernetes workloads.
You can learn more about the Dash0 K8s operator in our documentation.

Telemetry Collection Issues reported by the Dash0 Operator
Let's get the Dash0 Kubernetes Operator installed. It only takes a few minutes!
Add the Helm chart for the Dash0 operator to your Helm repository.
You need a Dash0 authorization token to connect to Dash0's servers for data transmission. We recommend to store it securely within a Kubernetes secret in the namespace where you will install the Dash0 operator.
Next, let's deploy the Dash0 operator via its Helm chart.
When installing the Dash0 operator on GKE Autopilot, you should also add --set operator.gke.autopilot.enabled=true.
Observability with the Dash0 operator must be enabled for each namespace that you want to monitor with Dash0. To start
monitoring a namespace, create a Dash0Monitoring resource in the namespace, like this:
Consult the Dash0 documentation or the Helm chart documentation to learn more about the features of the Dash0 operator.
