About This Workshop
In this workshop learn how to configure a WebLogic-on-Kubernetes for monitoring with the Oracle Application Performance Monitoring (APM) service. This enables automatic OpenTracing instrumentation, and metrics collection that are used to provide full, end-to-end monitoring and diagnostics for the application. One way to deploy an APM Java agent in a Docker container-enabled Kubernetes cluster, is to first, provision the APM Java agent in the location where docker image was originally created, second, build a new Docker image with the APM Java agent, and third, push the image to the registry. You can then configure Kubernetes to use the new Docker image to enable the APM agent in the pods.

However, this method assumes you have administrator access to the Docker working directory to recreate the image, which may not always be the case. In this workshop, we will use an alternative approach, to provision the APM Java agent in a file system mounted in the Oracle Cloud, and deploy it to the Kubernetes cluster, without updating the Docker image.
