A centralized logging solution is essential for the efficient implementation of best practices for logging in Kubernetes. We present the FLOOD stack as an open source solution to this requirement. Logging in Kubernetes The built-in logging in kubernetes only provides very basic functionality. Developers can only access the logs of one container at a time and there are only logs of the current pod and its direct predecessor available.

Appalachian Figures When a Confederate veteran came home to Hazard after the Civil War, he remembered looking out over fields and streets that no longer looked like a town at all.

Appalachian History A River County on a Moving Front Russell County sat on the kind of landscape generals studied on maps. The Cumberland River bent like a great road of water along its southern edge. The county seat at Jamestown lay on the ridge road that linked Columbia and Albany.

Appalachian History In the 1860s there was no Lee County on the map. The confluence of the North, Middle, and South Forks of the Kentucky River was divided among Estill, Owsley, and Breathitt Counties, a remote corner of the Commonwealth where flatboats and narrow roads carried people and goods in and out of the hills.

Appalachian History A Courthouse Town On The Edge Of The Mountains In the early 1860s Powell County sat where the Bluegrass began to wrinkle into mountains. The Red River threaded past small farms, iron works, and timber land on its way toward the Kentucky River. Stanton, a modest crossroads town, had been chosen as county seat after Powell County was carved out of surrounding counties in 1852 and named for Governor Lazarus W. Powell.

Appalachian History Mt. Olivet did not yet have a county of its own when the Civil War came through on tired horses in June 1864. The crossroads village sat on the old Maysville–Lexington road, between the mineral springs at Blue Licks and the market towns strung along the Licking River. On paper it belonged partly to Bracken, partly to Harrison, Mason, and Nicholas.

Appalachian History A border county on the Cumberland In the summer of 1863, Williamsburg was a small courthouse town on the Cumberland River, better known as Whitley Court House than as a battlefield. Whitley County itself was relatively young, carved from Knox County in 1818 with Williamsburg planted at the center as the county seat. The county sat in a dangerous place. Its southern edge touched the Tennessee line.
