Open Observability Day

Introductory remarks for the inaugural Open Observability Day, a co-located event with KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North American 2022

This session explores where organizations are getting stuck with distributed tracing and how they can overcome these obstacles. To drive broader adoption of distributed tracing, we need a new approach.

Lessons learned from building the Fluent Bit project and how extending the ecosystem to support Metrics and Traces has created a simplified user observability experience.

A presentation on LinkedIn’s experiences building an observability pipeline using open source standards and tools, specifically OTEL and Fluent Bit.

This talk looks at early signs of how the observability community are beginning to leverage graph concepts – including Jaeger service graph, Backstage service catalog and eBay’s Groot (root cause analysis) tool – and some of the opportunities and challenges around how observability data can reveal more answers with graph.

Dive into ops and dev stories with practical insights into Kubernetes metrics, Prometheus alerting, chaos engineering with Chaos Mesh, OpenTelemetry app instrumentation, and hear about production incidents with failed SLOs.

Discovery Engine is an open-source policy recommendation system, which can act as a plug-in for K8s environments that discovers network and system policies based on the logs collected from the various container network interfaces.

Open Agent Management Protocol (OpAMP) is a new network protocol from the OpenTelemetry Project that enables remote management of OpenTelemetry collectors, allowing them to report their status to and receive configuration from a Server and to receive agent package updates from the server.

The complexities that come with handling telemetry data from distributed systems as they scale, along with how to build an observability data pipeline using the OpenTelemetry collector and open source plugins that can perform a wide variety of data processing.

This presentation explores how the magic of eBPF can be used to achieve full observability in complex edge cases, through the lens of a real-life gRPC monitoring case study.

With the observability ecosystem converging onto OpenTelemetry, eBay felt it needed to adopt the same. This presentation focuses on the challenges eBay faced when adopting OpenTelemetry and why the company felt it was essential to make the transition.

Understand the different components inside OTel Metrics and how they interact with the Prometheus eco-system, including the common scenarios and pipelines, the gotchas, and when and how to migrate from Prometheus to OTel for metrics and vice-versa.

After implementing tracing across its platform components, wasmCloud, a CNCF sandbox application runtime for WebAssembly workloads, saw massive improvements.

How do you build a case for observability and convince leadership to invest? In this talk we give you a grounding on how observability impacts and empowers every part of the business, and then share insights to help you define your strategy.

See how to connect the Cilium project with Prometheus and Grafana dashboards to visualize how applications talk to each other in a Kubernetes environment.
