  • KubeCon Europe 2024 in Paris was the biggest event of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) to date, with over 12k participants. Have you missed it? We've got you covered! Join not one but two CNCF Ambassadors as they explore the latest and greatest highlights from the event that every tech enthusiast is talking about.

    But that's not all! We'll also zoom in on K8sgpt, a new entrant to the CNCF’s sandbox that uses generative AI to give Kubernetes superpowers to everyone. Does this open source project go beyond the GenAI hype and get us closer to diagnosing and triaging issues in plain English? Let’s ask the maintainers behind the project.

    Our guest is Thomas Schuetz, a Principal Cloud Architect with a keen interest in cloud-native application delivery. Thomas teaches at an Austrian University of Applied Sciences, focusing on cloud-native technologies. Thomas is enthusiastic about open source projects, contributing as a Keptn GC Member and K8sGPT Maintainer, alongside his role as Co-Chair of the CNCF TAG App Delivery. He also brings a deep industry background from his past roles at Dynatrace and more.

  • OpenTelemetry is expanding beyond the traditional “three pillars of observability” and introduces a groundbreaking addition to its signals - Continuous Profiling. The new Profiling Special Interest Group (SIG) that was formed to lead the topic has already made significant advancements, to be featured at KubeCon Europe. Join us in this special panel episode of OpenObservability Talks as we explore the significance of this new dimension in understanding application behavior, optimizing performance, and gaining deeper insights into your systems. Our expert guests, Felix Geisendörfer and Ryan Perry, members of the OpenTelemetry Profiling SIG, share their insights into how Profiling enhances the OpenTelemetry framework, and update on the work for open specification and implementation.


    This special episode hosts a panel of two distinguished members of OpenTelemetry’s Profile SIG, and prominent members of the observability vendor ecosystem. Felix Geisendörfer is a Senior Staff Engineer at Datadog where he works on Continuous Profiling and contributes to the Go runtime. Before that he was working at Apple, co-founded Transloadit, contributed to node.js and inspired a generation of mad scientists to program flying robots with it. Ryan Perry is Principal Product Manager at Grafana Labs. He has built a career at various startups while actively contributing to open source projects and advancing open telemetry initiatives. Most recently he built Pyroscope, an open source continuous profiling project/company, which has been acquired by Grafana Labs.

  • The .NET programming language is taking cloud native deployment and observability seriously, and most notably with the recent announcement of .NET Aspire stack unveiled at the recent .NET Conf 2023.

    In this episode, we reviewed the open source maintainers’ journey to making .NET a "by default, out of the box observable platform", as ASP.NET Core creator David Fowler put it. David was this episode’s guest, and with him we dived into .NET Aspire and how it simplifies the complexities of cloud app development with capabilities around service discovery, observability, and resilience. We discussed the local developer experience, the path to developer observability, and what we can expect from the upcoming GA release of .NET8.

    David Fowler has been at Microsoft for 15 years working on developer frameworks and tools in the .NET space. He's one of the creators of several popular OSS frameworks and tools such as NuGet, SignalR and ASP.NET Core, and also architected the Azure SignalR Service. Originally from Barbados, he's an avid open-source advocate and developer currently focused on simplifying developer experiences in the microservice space.

  • PromCon, the flagship yearly event of the Prometheus community, took place in Berlin 28-29 September 2023, and we’re here to bring you the highlights from the Prometheus ecosystem, including the pivotal decision on Prometheus 3.0! Brace yourselves for some exciting announcements! We also delved into the latest addition to the ecosystem, Perses project, which promises to revolutionize the world of dashboard visualization and monitoring. This new open source project, now part of the Linux Foundation, aims to become the GitOps-friendly standard dashboard visualization tool for Prometheus and other data sources.On this episode I hosted Augustin Husson, Prometheus maintainer and the creator of the Perses project, at the heels of his PromCon announcement of the Perses release. Augustin is also principal engineer at Amadeus, a technology vendor for travel agencies. Augustin joined Amadeus to create a new internal monitoring system based on Prometheus, and he will also share his end-user journey and insights.

  • DevOps is not just about operating the software in production, but also about releasing that software to production. Well-functioning CI/CD pipelines are critical for the business, and this calls for quality observability, to handle broken and flaky pipeline runs effectively.On this episode I hosted Oleg Nenashev, a core maintainer and board member in the Jenkins project, as well as a TOC member in the Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF). Oleg is a community builder, open source advocate and consultant, now at WireMock Inc. He is also a CDF and CNCF ambassador. We discussed CI/CD, observability, the prominent open source projects and foundations, as well as a new proposal for extending OpenTelemetry to natively support CI/CD observability use cases.

  • Terraform is no longer open source. This is the news we got last month (August 2023), when HashiCorp announced its decision to relicense its open source tools, including Terraform, Vault, Packer, Consul, Vagrant and others, into Business Source License 1.1.The community, led by active Terraform-based vendors, gathered up to create a fork of Terraform to keep it open. The result is OpenTofu (originally called OpenTF), whose manifesto already has tens of thousands of stars on GitHub, less than a month out. Only a month old, engineers are hard at work to establish the first release of OpenTofu, as well as its foundational backbone. In this month’s episode I covered these significant events that shake our industry and the DevOps world. I was joined by Omry Hay, co-founder and CTO of env0. env0 provides an automation solution based on Terraform, and is one of the creators of OpenTofu and a member of the project’s steering committee. Omry also shared OpenTofu’s mission and current status, as well as exciting updates, hot off Open Source Summit Europe conference taking place these days, in which OpenTofu has officially joined The Linux Foundation. Omry has been a software engineer and engineering manager for the last 16 years, working at companies like eToro, Fiverr and Proofpoint. As CTO of env0, he leads the R&D and Product departments.

  • Fluentd and Fluent Bit are two highly popular open source projects for data collection and log forwarding in the realm of observability. Fluentd's flexibility and scalability have led to seamless integration with diverse applications and data sources, while Fluent Bit's lightweight and efficient log forwarding have made it a preferred choice for modern observability pipelines. But Fluent Bit can process more than just logs. The recent release of Fluent Bit v2 added major new integrations with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus and more, as well as extensibility with WebAssembly plugins.

    On this episode I hosted Eduardo Silva Pereira, one of Fluentd project maintainers and creator of Fluent Bit. He also is the founder of Calyptia, the Fluent company. Eduardo shared with us the latest updates of Fluentd and Fluent Bit, as well as valuable insights into the future roadmap of these projects.

  • eBay is a high scale end user of open source observability. Collecting telemetry from millions of endpoints, and running thousands of queries per second, presents serious scaling challenges. eBay has chosen to use an open source stack to meet those challenges. On this episode I hosted Vijay Samuel, Observability Architect at eBay, to hear about the challenges eBay faced in monitoring large Kubernetes installations. We discussed why eBay chose the open source stack, and the strategic decision behind eBay's migration from Elastic Beats to OpenTelemetry, and the remarkable experiences they had while deploying massively large scale telemetry installations using OpenTelemetry and Prometheus.We also discussed a fascinating new proposal for a query language standard for observability, which eBay spearheads together with Netflix under the auspices of the CNCF’s TAG Observability (the CNCF’s technical advisory group for observability).

  • With over 1,000 companies using it and 21.5K+ stars on GitHub, the Backstage open source project is quickly becoming a go-to tool for managing developer infrastructure. In this episode, I’ll sit down with Lee Mills, a Senior Engineering Manager from Spotify's Backstage project, to learn more about how the open source platform is revolutionizing the developer experience and how it aligns with the growing Internal Developer Platform (IDP) space. We’ll discuss the need that drove Spotify to build this internal tool, about the decision and journey to open source it and donate it to the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation). We’ll also discuss the new commercial plugins, what’s coming up on the roadmap, and much more.

    Lee has worked as an engineering manager for the past 12 years, from Amazon to Spotify and everything in between. Prior to that Lee had a mixed background working in academia as a lecturer, worked as a Boom Op for television in the UK and lived in more places than he can count.

  • The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) is the home of the most prominent open source projects used today, such as Kubernetes, Prometheus, ArgoCD, Linkerd and more. These projects fuel today’s cloud native architectures and software release pipelines. With its immense growth, it has become difficult to keep tabs on the hundreds of new and evolving projects and specifications, the different working groups and technical advisory groups, the different community forums and events, and to see where it’s all heading.

    I invited Chris Aniszczyk, CTO of the CNCF, to join me on this episode, to help us understand the CNCF landscape and evolution. We will also discuss the trends in observability and in the open source realm in general. Chris also has some interesting predictions to share.

    Chris Aniszczyk is an open source executive and engineer with a passion for building a better world through open collaboration. He's currently a CTO at the Linux Foundation focused on developer relations and running the Open Container Initiative (OCI) / Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Furthermore, he's a partner at Capital Factory where he focuses on mentoring, advising and investing in open source and infrastructure focused startups.

    At Twitter, he created their open source program and led their open source efforts. For many years he served on the Eclipse Foundation's Board of Directors representing the committer community and the Java Community Process (JCP) Executive Committee. In a previous life, he bootstrapped a consulting company, made many mistakes, lead and hacked on many eclipse.org and Linux related projects.

  • Many organizations struggle in understanding and monitoring the costs of their Kubernetes workloads, cloud infrastructure and cloud native applications. Moreover, different cloud providers use different conventions, which makes it difficult to compare across vendors and to monitor cost in multi-cloud environments. The lack of cost observability and vendor-agnostic FinOps standardization can become a critical business challenge.

    OpenCost is a vendor-neutral open source project for measuring and allocating infrastructure and container costs. It’s built for Kubernetes cost monitoring to power real-time cost monitoring, showback, and chargeback, across on-premises Kubernetes as well as cloud managed offering.

    I discussed this topic with Matt Ray, Senior Community Manager for the OpenCost project. Matt has been active in Open Source and DevOps communities for over two decades and has spoken at and helped organize many conferences and meetups. He is currently the Senior Community Manager at Kubecost for the CNCF Sandbox Project OpenCost. Matt also co-hosts the Software Defined Talk podcast.

  • A 3-node Kubernetes cluster with Prometheus will ship around 40k active series by default! Do we really need all that data? The current state of Kubernetes open source monitoring is in need of improvement. High churn rate of pod metrics, proliferation of metrics with low usage, and configuration complexity are some of the issues that need to be addressed.

    I discussed this topic with Aliaksandr Valialkin, CTO at VictoriaMetrics and creator of the open source project. We discussed the common problems, as well as directions and best practices to overcome some of these complexities as individuals and as a community. We also discussed VictoriaMetrics open source project and how it addresses some of these challenges.

    Aliaksandr a Golang engineer, who likes writing simple and performant code and creating easy-to-use programs. Sometimes these hard-to-match requirements work together, like in the VictoriaMetrics case.

  • At Meta (Facebook, Instragram et al) everything is data, and data driven approach is the rule, from product to engineering, from HR to finance. This is also how the team at Meta treats observability. Let’s see how we treat observability as a data analytics problem, and what you can implement, even if you’re not a hyperscaler.

    On this episode I’ll host David Ostrovsky from Meta. David is a software developer with over 20 years of industry experience, speaker, trainer, blogger and co-author of “Pro Couchbase Server”. He specializes in large-scale distributed system architecture.

  • Everyone’s talking about Platform Engineering these days. Even Gartner featured it in its Hype Cycle for Software Engineering 2022. But what is Platform Engineering really about? Is it the next stage in the evolution of DevOps? Is it just a fancy rebrand for DevOps or SRE? And how does observability pertain to platform engineering?

    On this episode of OpenObservability Talks Horovits hosted George Hantzaras, Director of Cloud Platform Engineering at Citrix. George is a distributed systems expert and a hands-on engineering leader with focus on delivering B2B cloud services at scale. Coming from a DevOps background, he focuses on implementing SRE at enterprise scale working with cloud native technologies. He has been organizing the Athens Cloud Computing Meetup since 2016 and the Athens Hashicorp User Group. Most recently, he has been a speaker at global events like Hashiconf, DeveloperWeek, Voxxed Days, DevNexus and more, focusing on reliability engineering, agile leadership, scaling engineering teams, and entrepreneurship.

    Why Platform Engineering? Different teams employ different stacks. How does Platform Engineering fits in? Platform Engineering at Citrix How does it map to the common DevOps maturity models? Is Platform Engineering different from PaaS? Platform as a product Culture element is central in Platform Engineering Generating buy-in within the product’s engineering Metrics and quantifying the benefits of Platform Engineering Balancing flexibility and simplicity, and striking the right level of abstraction Delimitation between what’s developed by Platform vs. Product teams. Generating Golden Paths for engineering Observability and Platform Engineering

  • Instrumentation is that black magic that makes our application emit traces, logs, metrics or other telemetry. How does it work? What options are available in different programming languages, such as Java, Python and Go? What does OpenTelemetry offer in this domain?

    On this episode of OpenObservability Talks I hosted Eden Federman, Co-Founder & CTO at keyval, a company focused on making observability simpler. Eden is the creator of two open source projects: Odigos and Go automatic instrumentation (now part of OpenTelemetry). Eden is passionate about everything related to observability and performance monitoring. He also created kubectl-flame, a profiler for Kubernetes.
