Cloud Native Rejekts NA 2025 - Expanding Your Toolbox: Beginners Guide to Controlling Kubernetes Logs (slides)

Today I spoke at the always fun event taking place before KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA, Cloud Native Rejekts. 

Since my transfer from the application development domains to the cloud native observability domain more than three years ago, I've never missed a single CFP for this event. This year it was in another amazing location, The Academy of Medicine in Atlanta, GA.

In the past I've shared observability topics in a session on Perses,  a session providing OpenTelemetry insights, and a session on integrating Fluent Bit with OpenTelemetry including a live demo. Today I told a cloud native story helping developers gain control of their logs in Kubernetes environments while within their inner development loop.

 Below you will find the session slides, abstract, and location details for this Atlanta based event.

Mastering Fluent Bit: Controlling Logs with Fluent Bit on Kubernetes (updated)

This is a special update to the original Controlling Logs with  Fluent Bit on Kubernetes article published previously that is no longer valid.

The issue requiring this update arose over last weekend when I discovered that Broadcom, who acquired VMWare, who were the custodians of the bitnami catalog, did something not so nice to all of us.

In this issue, they announced that the catalog would be moved in August 2025 to a legacy catalog in favor of a 'secure' catalog and no longer updated.  

This meant that the current Logs Control Easy Install project, the workshop Controlling Logs with Fluent Bit on Kubernetes, and the original article had to all be updated.  I spent this last weekend and most of this week bringing all three of these artifacts up to date with a new application workload to replace the use of Ghost CMS.

Let's take a look at what these changes meant to the original article and provide you with a new guide, using Fluent Bit to get control of logs on a Kubernetes cluster.

All Things Open 2025 - Cloud Metrics: The Cost-Value Equation (slides)

As I previously mentioned, I missed the 2024 All Things Open, having last spoken in 2023, but I'm back this year at All Things Open in Raleigh, NC! 

I'm a big fan of the All Things Open conferences and meetups, as they have been a rock star organization since they started and always put on great events in the state of North Carolina. This year is the 13th edition and I've only missed the events across the pandemic years.

The selection committee was kind enough to select one of my favorite topics that I've been working on within my current team at Chronosphere, cloud metrics and cost-value equations. Today I was on-site and gave this burst-talk session. I wanted to share the slides and my thoughts on the attendee reactions.

SRECon Eu 2025 - The Executive Signal (slides)

 "SREcon25 Europe/Middle East/Africa is a gathering of engineers who care deeply about site reliability, systems engineering, and working with complex distributed systems at scale. SREcon strives to challenge both those new to the profession as well as those who have been involved in it for decades. The conference has a culture of critical thought, deep technical insights, continuous improvement, and innovation."

Today I shared some insights into the executive signal and gave some important tips that everyone can use to cut through the noise and drive change. Below I share the slides from my talk.

Cloud Native Manchester: Exploring the Power of Open Source Telemetry Pipelines, Fluent Bit Edition (slides)

 

As I mentioned previously, I was going to speak in June at Cloud Native Manchester, but due to transit strikes in my country I was unable to make the trip over to Manchester. 

The meetup is described as, "A Northern outpost for all things Cloud Native - from Kubernetes to Etcd and everything in between... If you're interested in container orchestration and all its surrounding ecosystem, then we welcome you onboard!"

Tonight I shared a rather ambitious session where, after introducing the concepts of telemetry pipelines, I let the meetup attendees choose from a list of five examples (demo scenarios). I then proceeded to share live on stage the details of how things work; Fluent Bit pipelines, integration with OpenTelemetry, integration with Prometheus, controlling logs in a Kubernetes cluster, and AI observability. 

As promised, I wanted to share both the slides and talk details below.

Cloud Native Rejekts NA 2025 - Expanding Your Toolbox: Beginners Guide to Controlling Kubernetes Logs

One of the really fun events around the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) flagship event KubeCon + CloudNativeCon is Cloud Native Rejekts. This event started by a Netherlands based organization, hence the unique Dutch spelling of the word rejects, and is meant to be a second chance for talks not accepted into the main CNCF event.

I love the idea of second chances and believe many of the talks given at Cloud Native Rejekts should have been in the main event. Since my transfer from the application development domains to the cloud native observability domain more than three years ago, I've never missed a single CFP for this event. 

In the past I've shared observability topics in a session on Perses,  a session providing OpenTelemetry insights, and a session on integrating Fluent Bit with OpenTelemetry including a live demo. For Rejekts NA I've been accepted for a cloud native story helping developers gain control of their logs in Kubernetes environments while within their inner development loop.

 Below you will find the session title, abstract, and location details for this Atlanta based event.

Devoxx UK 2025: Meet the New Kid in the Sandbox - Integrating Visualization with Prometheus (slides + recording)

Today, as previously posted, I was on stage at Devoxx UK in London. 

Over the years I've spoken at the Belgian and UK versions of Devoxx events. I've shared on topics covering application development, developer productivity, cloud development, and architecture. 

My last appearance was at Devoxx UK in 2022, so it was really fun to be back again in London with a topic near to my heart. I shared some good basic insights into Perses, a CNCF Sandbox level visualization and dashboard project.

This session is a lot of fun to explore and includes access to a free online project sandbox where you can play with the tooling. Not only that, you can make use of the free online workshop where you build everything hands-on from scratch and learn about the Perses dashboard and visualization experience.

Below I'll share my slides and recording.

Graziano and I met a few years ago at Platmosphere and we've since been sharing topics of platform engineering and observability. This has led us to several events, including SREDay in Amsterdam last year and now London this year!

Below you will find the abstract for the story we plan to share.

Cloud Native Rejekts London: Mastering Fluent Bit - Ultimate Guide to Integrating Telemetry Pipelines with OpenTelemetry

One of the really fun events around the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) flagship event KubeCon + CloudNativeCon is Cloud Native Rejekts. This event started by a Netherlands based organization, hence the unique Dutch spelling of the word rejects, and is meant to be a second chance for talks not accepted into the main CNCF event.

I love the idea of second chances and believe many of the talks given at Cloud Native Rejekts should have been in the main event. Quality and quantity of these talks is often astounding. Since my transfer from the application development domains to the cloud native observability domain more than two years ago, I've never missed a single CFP for this event. 

In the past I've spoken at the North American event sharing a session on Perses, and at the European event sharing OpenTelemetry insights. This year I've been selected to the Cloud Native Rejekts EU event with a session sharing what integrating Fluent Bit with OpenTelemetry looks like, including live demo components.

Devoxx UK 2025: Meet the New Kid in the Sandbox - Integrating Visualization with Prometheus

I've been a regular fan of the Devoxx events over the years, speaking multiple times at both the Belgian and UK versions. I've shared on topics covering application development, developer productivity, cloud development, and architecture through the years. 

My last appearance was at Devoxx UK in 2022, so it is with great excitement that I'm sharing that I've gotten accepted for a cloud native observability session in my new domain of focus.

This year Devoxx UK 2025 conference is being held from May 7-9 in London. Being easily accessible for me so I'll be there to share some good basic insights into Perses, a CNCF Sandbox level visualization and dashboard project.

Next generation observability - An architectural introduction

Part 1 - Introduction

In a past life I spent many hours researching, creating, explaining, and publishing portfolio architectures across a collection of application development, domain verticals, infrastructure solutions, and hybrid cloud domains. Most of these concentrated on the application layers and their usage of the infrastructure.

Then I transitioned into the cloud native observability space and observability became the guiding light in my learning path. This quickly led to the realization that the same solution mapping that the previous portfolio architectures brought to organizations struggling with solving hard problems, also applied to the observability world. It's just a matter of a different angle in how we look at those solutions.

Early in 2023 I introduced the first changes to an existing Financial Payments architecture, publishing a short series where observability was included in the solution diagrams. As my learnings in the observability domain continued, this architectural need for a generic view of how to design a cloud native observability solution for any organization remained on my mind.

For the last few months, a small group has been digging into how to define the next generation observability architecture. This article is the first introduction to our findings.

Installing Fedora 41 on Macbook Pro 13 inch (late 2011)

This weekend I decided to update my old Macbook Pro 13 inch from late 2011, with 125GB SSD and 8GB RAM. 

It's a machine I've taken on trips around the world and back in the day ran many sessions, workshops, and demos sharing all that developer goodness.

Last time we checked, this was installed using Fedora 37, so how about an update to Fedora 41?

Below are the steps and adjustments needed to get Fedora 41 working on this laptops in no time.

O11y Guide: Finding observability and DevEx tranquility with Platform Engineering

Monitoring system behavior is essential for ensuring long-term effectiveness. However, managing an end-to-end observability stack can feel like sailing stormy seas—without a clear plan, you risk blowing off course into system complexities. 

By integrating observability as a first-class citizen within your platform engineering practices, you can simplify this challenge and stay on track in the ever-evolving cloud-native landscape.  

Entering the world of monitoring distributed systems is a journey made up of several stages which we will cover in the rest of this article.
