In a production cluster, logs are usually collected, aggregated, and shipped to a remote store where advanced analysis/search/archiving functions are supported. In kubernetes, the default cluster-addons includes a per-node log collection daemon, fluentd. To facilitate the log collection, kubelet creates symbolic links to all the docker containers logs under /var/log/containers with pod and container metadata embedded in the filename.
