Cloud Native Rejekts London: Mastering Fluent Bit - Ultimate Guide to Integrating Telemetry Pipelines with OpenTelemetry (slides + video)

Today, as previously mentioned, I presented a fun hands-on session at Cloud Native Rejekts in London. 

This event was started by a Netherlands based organization, hence the unique Dutch spelling of the word rejekts, and is meant to be a second chance for talks not accepted into the main CNCF 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. 

Today I shared a live demo session focused on integrating Fluent Bit with OpenTelemetry. Below you will find the session recording (video), slides and abstract.

First off, a kind thanks to those that attended and gave feedback. It's always fun to really let it rip with a more complex hands on demo live on stage. First the video recording:

Below the slides and abstract for you.

Mastering Fluent Bit: Ultimate Guide to Integrating Telemetry Pipelines with OpenTelemetry 

It's time you stopped letting your telemetry data pressure your budgets and get in the way of  solving issues with agility! No more I say! Take back control of your telemetry data as we guide you through the open source project Fluent Bit. Learn how to manage your telemetry  data from source to destination using the pipeline phases covering collection, parsing, aggregation, transformation, and forwarding from any source to any destination. Buckle up for a fun ride as you learn by exploring how telemetry pipelines work, how to set up your first pipeline, and exploring several common use cases that Fluent Bit helps solve as you integrate with OpenTelemetry collectors in your organization. All this backed by a self-paced, hands-on workshop that attendees can pursue at home after this session (https://o11y-workshops.gitlab.io/workshop-fluentbit).

Talk includes 15 mins of live demoing the following integration phases:

• collecting telemetry data with Fluent Bit, enriching and securing, then passing to output destination.
• exposing Fluent Bit collected data as metrics endpoint, collecting, and displaying with Prometheus.
• collecting telemetry data with Fluent Bit, putting into OpenTelemetry (OTLP) format, then passing to output destination.
• collecting telemetry data with Fluent Bit, putting into OpenTelemetry (OTLP) format, then passing to OpenTelemetry Collector.
• collecting telemetry data with Fluent Bit, putting into OpenTelemetry (OTLP) format, then passing to OpenTelemetry Collector, finally sending it to storage for later usage.

It was great fun sharing all this open source goodness and meeting with everyone at the event. Looking forward to your feedback on the session and hope you enjoy the provided hands-on learning with Fluent Bit and OpenTelemetry.
