Lab 1 Overview
Referring to the picture below, here are the components for lab 1.
#1 . Sample Application
Sample app representing a simple architecture of a frontend and backend implemented as Docker containers that we will review in this lab.
#2 . Dynatrace monitoring
The Dynatrace OneAgent has been installed by the workshop provisioning scripts and is communicating to your Managed Dynatrace Tenant.
#3 . Load generator process
A JMeter process sends simulated user traffic to the sample app running within a Docker container. You will not need to interact with this container, it just runs in the background.
💥 TECHNICAL NOTE:
A real-world scenario would often start with the application components running on a physical or virtualized host on-prem and not “Dockerized”. To simplify the workshop, we “Dockerized” the application into a front-end and back-end. In Dynatrace, these Docker containers all show up as “processes” on a host just like a “non-Dockerized” application will.
