DevOpsCon Munich - Taking Back Control of Your Telemetry Data (slides)

 As previously mentioned, I was in Munich, Germany today for the DevOpsCon Munich event. 

It's a conference focusing on CI/CD, the Kubernetes Ecosystem, Agile, and Lean Business. It's both in-person and online for those wishing to take the virtual experience.

I was telling a story about how to take back control of your telemetry data. This will be some fun with telemetry pipelines and include several live demos.

Now let's look at the story I'm going to be sharing with the attendees and the slides I used.

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.

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

I'm going to be 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.

They are providing small bites, drinks, and get some cool PagerDuty swag, so come hang out and meet more automation enthusiasts experts. 

There will be a hands-on demo session, a session with new automation tricks to bring back to your team, and my session on Mean-Time-To-Sleep (MTTS).

Join us for a couple of hours of power and chat with PagerDuty's automation specialists and me from Chronosphere to learn more about how to gain control over your telemetry data and observability challenges.

DevOpsCon Munich - Taking Back Control of Your Telemetry Data

I'm heading to Munich, Germany from 3-5 Dec 2024 for the DevOpsCon Munich event. It's a conference focusing on CI/CD, the Kubernetes Ecosystem, Agile, and Lean Business. It's both in-person and online for those wishing to take the virtual experience.

I'm going to be telling a story about how to take back control of your telemetry data. This will be some fun with telemetry pipelines and include several live demos.

Chronosphere will also have a booth so come chat with me about all things observability and pick up some nice SWAG we will be giving away.

Now let's look at the story I'm going to be sharing with the attendees.

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

I'm going to be at SREday Amsterdam on 21 Nov 2024 with my co-presenter Graziano Casto, developer relations engineer at Mia-Platform sharing a platform engineering story.

This event is one day and focused on Site Reliability, DevOps, and Cloud with a single track of talks. The venue will be the Pongbar, a rather hip location for this event and should be a lot of fun meeting with attendees and speakers.

Graziano and I met last year at Platmosphere and he asked if I would like to collaborate on a talk that brought both his topic of platform engineering and my focus of observability together. How can you not jump at the chance to strengthen our messages together?

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

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

When your talk is not accepted for KubeCon NA, what can you do? Submit it to Cloud Native Rejekts of course! 

I did exactly that with this session that brings the newest member of the CNCF Sandbox tier of projects to you. This event takes place in Salt Lake City, Utah from 10-11 Nov 2024.

Since I started working with Prometheus, I've gotten involved with Perses, which is focused on providing true open source visualization and dashboards to the users of Prometheus.

This talk will bring the background, the current status of what you can do and what you can't, share what the future plans are, and leave behind a free hands-on workshop for attendees to pursue post-event.
