Building an Open Source Observability Stack for Kubernetes

Dive into a hands-on tutorial that demonstrates how to rapidly build an open source observability stack for Kubernetes. Learn to implement the three pillars of observability - metrics, logs, and traces - using cutting-edge CNCF projects. Explore the FOP stack (Fluentbit, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus) and discover how to achieve comprehensive observability coverage in minutes. Gain insights into utilizing the OpenTelemetry format for analyzing diverse telemetry sources during incident debugging. Expand your knowledge beyond traditional observability by incorporating Pixie into the stack, enabling progressive instrumentation for collecting application profiles, kernel events, and function tracing without redeployment. This 56-minute session, presented by experts from New Relic and VMware, offers a practical approach to implementing modern observability techniques in cloud-native environments.
