OpenSearchCon EU - Fluent Bit & OpenSearch: The Power Couple of Open Source Observability

After my adventures with the OpenSearch maintainers and developers in their booth at KubeCon NA this year, I was excited to share the results of our adventures at their OpenSearchCon EU event.

So with full enthusiasm I submitted a session about the observability power couple that is Fluent Bit and OpenSearch when used together. This would provide the attendees with a good overview of what the CNCF graduated project Fluent Bit, an end-to-end observability pipeline, can do for them. 

To complement and visualize your pipeline telemetry data, OpenSearch was added to the mix and we worked hard to provide a streamlined demo project providing the hands-on experience of setting up the entire integration. 

Let's look at the session and supporting hands-on learning content we are providing.
