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

As previously posted, I spoke today at the Cloud Native London meetup on the topic of mastering Fluent Bit. 

I really like the organization and the consistently high volume of smart attendees to test out my ideas. Again they proved why it's so fun to share my integration story with them about Fluent Bit and OpenTelemetry.

 Below you will find my slides from this evening, a link to the live stream that captured all my live demoing of Fluent Bit, OpenTelemetry, and Prometheus all working seamlessly together!

The event was advertised on their meetup site and my slides can be found below:

For completeness, my talk title and abstract below:

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 to storage for later usage.

Thanks to all who attended this session live or online and really enjoyed our conversations afterwards. Hope to see you all again soon in London!
