Eft Driver

Getting started with EFK (Fluent Bit, Elasticsearch and Kibana) stack in Kubernetes. The log is formatted in JSON because Kubernetes nodes are configured with docker json logging driver. First, please prepare docker-compose.yml for Docker Compose.Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With the YAML file below, you can create and start all the services (in this case, Apache, Fluentd, Elasticsearch, Kibana) by one command.

Program Overview

The average driver will drive for 55 years and travel over 1 million miles behind the steering wheel. Most new drivers will not have the opportunity to take professional driving lessons or driver’s education, even though this is the preferred way to learn. New York State Department of Motor Vehicles and Gigliotti's Driving School feel such a venture must start with a 5-hour, pre-licensing course. The student will have the opportunity to ask questions to a professional driving instructor. Each student will learn the basic rules of the road, defensive driving strategies, and other important concepts to carry with them for the next half-century.

Students will also have the opportunity to feel what driving under the influence of alcohol feels like with our new .18 BAC goggles, and why drinking and driving is so dangerous.
