Exactly what I'm looking for in a meetup!
Attendees here are knowledgeable as they are often active in their daily jobs with the various technologies that a meetup covers. I shared a fun session on how to get started with Podman, a fully open source OCI compliant container tool for working with container images in a developer environment.
This was a talk my team has given previously, but we continue to perfect it by sharing with diverse audiences. Below are the slides and abstract from my talk.
Today I was in Milan, Italy for an event known as Platmosphere. This was an event dedicated to platform enthusiasts and turned out to be a really fun chance to share some of my observability insights with the practitioners putting platforms in the hands of their developers.
I was approached specifically about giving my talk and was flattered that they thought it was special enough to get me on the inaugural event schedule.
It was really exciting to share this with platform engineering enthusiasts as they are on the front lines of the pain around providing platforms for their developer organizations, trying to provide observability-first processes, and tackling the challenges that this brings.
Below you'll find the slides and abstract from my talk.
I was approached specifically about the talk I'm going to give that the organizers had seen from a meetup recording. It's a special one that gives the audience a chance to participate in crafting the narrative that comes out of the session. It's a choose your own adventure style talk about the pitfalls everyone should avoid with cloud native observability.
I am very excited to share this with platform engineering enthusiasts as they are on the front lines of the pain around providing platforms for their developer organizations, trying to provide observability-first processes, and tackling the challenges that this brings.
I'm headed back to the Cloud Native + Kubernetes (K8S) Edinburgh meetup, joining them on 15 May 2024. Meetups are really essential to my job, as they are the grounds where I can test out both ideas and hands-on content.
Attendees are knowledgeable as they are often active in their daily jobs with the various technologies that a meetup covers. They are the perfect candidates to provide feedback on new ideas or help with crafting existing ones towards perfection.
I'll be sharing a fun session of how to get started with Podman, a fully open source OCI compliant container tool for working with container images in a developer environment.
Are you ready for getting started with cloud native observability with telemetry pipelines?
This article is part of a series exploring a workshop guiding you through the open source project Fluent Bit, what it is, a basic installation, and setting up a first telemetry pipeline project. Learn how to manage your cloud native data from source to destination using the telemetry pipeline phases covering collection, aggregation, transformation, and forwarding from any source to any destination.
The previous article in this series we explored using the filtering phase to modify events even based on conditions in those events. In this article we dig into what backpressure is, how it manifests in our telemetry pipelines, and take first steps to mitigate this with Fluent Bit.
You can find more details in the accompanying workshop lab.
Let's get started with this use case.
