Are you interested in dipping your toes in the cloud native observability waters, but as an engineer you are not sure where to get started with tracing your microservices and applications on Kubernetes? Then this is the session for you, where we take you on your first steps in an active open-source project that offers a buffet of opportunities for getting started with telemetry data. The project, openTelemetry (OTEL), is where we start with de-mystifying key concepts and terms such as observability, telemetry, instrumentation to lay a foundation. Then we’ll explore the OTEL community and how to become not only an end-user, but possibly a contributor.We will wrap up with an overview of the components in this project, such as the Collector, the OTEL protocol (OTLP), its APIs, and its SDKs. Attendees will leave with an understanding of key observability concepts in distributed tracing! Key takeaways: Open source, vendor neutral instrumentation is an exciting new reality as the industry standardizes on openTelemetry for observability. OpenTelemetry is on a mission to enable effective observability by making high-quality, portable telemetry ubiquitous. The world of observability and monitoring today has a steep learning curve and in order to achieve ubiquity, the project would benefit from growing our contributor community.

Checking the pulse of your cloud native architecture

Eric D. Schabell

The daily choices you make as an engineer when shipping code contributes to the feedback loop. In cloud native environments a surprising amount of data is generated from the application layer down to infrastructure and along the delivery path. Regulatory and compliance pressures force us to store audit and observability data. Understanding the pressures on our engineering teams around the collection, storage, and maintenance of your cloud data can mean the difference between successful teams and burnout. Let us take you on a journey, looking closely at the current state of observability based on a recent research conducted with 500 cloud native engineers and find out what it’s like to be in the trenches.

SRECon EU 2023 - Three Phases to Better Observability Outcomes

Eric D. Schabell

We all want to have better business outcomes for our organizations solutions, such as faster remediation of problems, easier problem detection, greater revenue generation, happier customers, and engineering teams that can remain focused on delivering more business value. The problem with the popular three pillars (metrics, logs, tracing) is that you are talking about technology aspects and not about solutions. It's like talking about the tools in a mechanics toolbox used to make your convertible run again, instead of focusing on the blue smoke coming out of the exhaust, the rising engine temperature, and using that data to quickly remediate the problem by replacing the seals to prevent oil leaking in the engine. Let’s quickly tour the phases that lead to better outcomes and get our focus back on effective observability goals. Key takeaways - Modern cloud native observability needs three guiding phases to provide better outcomes, not tooling. Based on article: https://www.schabell.org/2022/09/o11y-guide-cloud-native-observability-needs-phases.html

Optimizing Observability Spend: Metrics

Eric D. Schabell

Are you collecting just about every metric under the sun and the kitchen sink too? Understanding the cost of collecting metrics and the usefulness of those metrics is the only way to scale in a cloud native world. You can’t get away with just collecting everything as you grow. Your observability teams need to make decisions about what to collect, what to drop, what to aggregate, and still be able to alert, triage, remediate, and do their root cause analysis on a daily basis. Gain immediate insights into high cost data (DPPS), when to drop time series data, and how to determine when the value of that data is at its lowest. Session includes a recorded demo video of it in action.

Igor Sfiligoi

The daily hype is all around you. From cloud native, multicloud, to hybrid cloud, this is the path to your digital future. The choices you make as a developer does not preclude the daily work of enhancing your customer's experience and agile delivery of your applications. With all this delivery and infrastructure, there is a lot of data generated when engaging with any cloud experience. Regulatory and compliance pressures force us to store audit and observability data. Understanding the pitfalls around the collection, storage, and maintenance of your cloud data can mean the difference between bankruptcy and success with our cloud native strategy. Let us take you on a journey, looking closely at the decisions you are making as a developer delivering and dealing with monitoring your applications. Join us for an hour of power, where real customer experiences are used to highlight the three top lessons learned as their developers transitioned their data needs into cloud native environments. Key Takeaways: Attendees to this session will gain insights into the data explosion that is part of the large scale cloud native world. Real customer experiences are used to highlight the three top lessons learned as their developers transitioned their data needs into cloud native environments.

Trajectory 2022 - Shifting Cloud Native Observability to the Left

Eric D. Schabell

The emergence of cloud native environments has changed our platform world. Not only are you coding, but expected to deliver, maintain, and support all aspects of the platform. This change means the Ops in DevOps has been overshadowing why we got into development in the first place. There is hope for us yet if we can just manage to shift left to close the gap in our time spent on non-operational activities. How do we do that, you ask? It’s imperative that developers are given not only the organizational structure to succeed, and even more critical is the ability to reduce time on triaging failures in their deployments. Attendees will be provided with insights into DevOps cloud native tips and tricks to spending more time on projects that matter and less on call. Join us in learning how you can shift left with your DevOps activities to bring more joy to your days.

PromCon EU 2022 - Centralized vs Decentralized Prometheus Scraping Architectu...

Eric D. Schabell

There are two primary approaches to scrape and collect metrics using Prometheus - using a centralized set of dedicated scrapers or decentralized scrapers that run as an agent. With centralized scraping, Prometheus is deployed as a central scraper to pull metrics from all discoverable endpoints and sometimes can be split across multiple centralized instances using a few different approaches. However, with a decentralized approach, Prometheus runs as an agent and in Kubernetes is deployed as a DaemonSet on each node in a cluster and only collects metrics from the node it runs on. Each model has pros and cons - especially when operating at large scale - which can make it difficult when deciding which model to use. In this session, the speaakers will provide an overview of Prometheus metrics collection at DoorDash, where having highly reliable resources, easy endpoint discovery, and real-time insights is critical. They will share insights and best practices into DoorDash’s decision to implement a decentralized model by offering pros and cons of each approach. Leave with a better understanding of the “right” model for your use case(s).

How to Wrestle Your Observability Data Demons and Win!

Eric D. Schabell

The crazy growth of observability data often outpaces the growth of your applications and infrastructure. Data volume and complexity can quickly grow out of control – reducing system reliability, lengthening remediation time, and increasing costs. To get data under control, central observability teams and engineers need detailed visibility into data usage, the ability to filter and aggregate data intelligently, and manage high cardinality data without weakening issue detection or query performance. In this webinar, you will learn: - About different architectures and methods for ingesting, filtering, and aggregating complex data - Why Chronosphere’s unique server-side approach is optimally designed for the scale and complexity of cloud native observability data - How some of the most successful cloud native businesses have reduced data volumes by 42% while improving issue detection and remediation

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024

Tobias Schneck

As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other? Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*

Frank van Harmelen

Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”. All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
