Speaking Session
Choose Your Own Adventure: Cloud Native Observability Pitfalls
On Sat, 28 Sep from 15:55-16:30 in room Sala La Redoute
Are you looking at your organization’s efforts to enter or expand into the cloud native landscape and feeling a bit daunted by the vast expanse of information surrounding cloud native observability? When you’re moving so fast with agile practices across your DevOps, SRE’s, and platform engineering teams, it’s no wonder this can seem a bit confusing.
Unfortunately, the choices being made have a great impact on both your business, your budgets, and the ultimate success of your cloud native initiatives. That hasty decision up front leads to big headaches very quickly down the road. Join me for an hour of audience engaging power where you the attendee can choose-your-own-pitfalls-adventure, by polling the attendees shall determine the course of the session! I’ll introduce attendees to the problem facing everyone with cloud native observability followed by any 3 common mistakes that I’m seeing organizations make (depending on what the attendees choose!) and how you can avoid them.
Key takeaways: There are pitfalls exploring OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Fluent Bit as specific CNCF projects in our cloud native observability landscape with pointers to hands-on workshops found at https://o11y-workshops.gitlab.io/
