How deeply does Google Anthos in Action cover instrumentation?

Connects instrumentation to end-to-end observability but does not specify signal types, implementation steps, or configuration.

Instrumentation

As explained in Google Anthos in Action

Instrumentation is the inclusion of code or integrations that emit measurements and diagnostic signals about software execution.

Instrumentation adds code or integrations that emit measurements and diagnostic signals about software execution. During legacy-application modernization, it supports end-to-end observability across distributed operating environments. section 16.1

Operational implications:

Replaces dependence on logging into a dedicated virtual machine for viewing logs or debugging. section 16.1
Enables teams to monitor and investigate incidents across large sets of nodes. section 16.1
Fits alongside migration from virtual machines to containers and managed environments such as GKE or Anthos. section 16.1
