SREday Amsterdam 2024 - Finding observability and DevEx tranquility sailing the monitoring data seas (slides)

 As I previously posted, I was in Amsterdam at SREday Amsterdam today with my co-presenter Graziano Casto, developer relations engineer at Mia-Platform sharing a platform engineering story.

This event was one day and focused on Site Reliability, DevOps, and Cloud with a single track of talks. The venue was pretty amazing, the Pongbar, a rather lounge type atmosphere for this event and was a lot of fun meeting all the attendees and speakers.

Below you will find the slides and abstract for the story we presented.

Rundeck by PagerDuty Meetup: MTTS - Sleep more, slog less (slides)

Previously, I posted about joining the Rundeck by PagerDuty Meetup and fellow open source automation enthusiasts at a happy-hour informal gathering during KubeCon in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Tonight I was live at their meetup sharing my session on now to sleep more, slog less, and get your Mean-Time-To-Sleep (MTTS) scores as low as possible!

I always want to reach out and thank all who attended to chat with PagerDuty's automation specialists and me from Chronosphere. It is always a fun time to share more about how to gain control over your telemetry data and observability challenges.

The final task is to always provide the slides I used on stage, so that anyone can pursue them at their own pace later. You'll find them below.

Cloud Native Rejekts NA: Meet the New Kid in the Sandbox - Integrating Visualization with Prometheus (slides)

I previously posted that I'd be in Salt Lake City at the fun Cloud Native Rejekts this week.

Today I shared my session on Perses, which is focused on providing true open source visualization and dashboards to the users of Prometheus. This talk brought the background, updated the current status of what you can do and what you can't, shared the future plans, and left behind a free hands-on workshop for attendees to pursue post-event.

Projects in the observability space tend to gravitate to the CNCF, and Perses jumped into the process of becoming a CNCF Sandbox project. The process took awhile and in mid-August they kicked off voting. Amazingly it only took a few days for the Perses project to pass the number of voted needed to become the newest member in the CNCF Sandbox tier. It was high time you met this new kid on the block!

Below you'll find the abstract, slides and recording for my session for you to pursue at your leisure.
