OSMC 2022 | That’s nuts! A proof of concept of Icinga2 on Kubernetes using Acorn

von Katja Kotschenreuther | Aug 12, 2023 | OSMC

This entry is part 10 of 10 in the series OSMC 2022

OSMC 2022 has brought lots of insightful open source expert know-how. In this blog series we will together take a glance back into our archives and pick out some of our highly appreciated speaker talks. Today we continue with Daniel’s Ignite talk “That’s nuts! A proof of concept of Icinga2 on Kubernetes using Acorn ”.

That’s what it’s all about

Icinga2 with its many moving parts, credentials for database, API, and other features, and layered topology can be considered a pretty complex system. When deploying to Kubernetes, it might in fact prove overwhelming when transitioning from ‘traditional’ setups.

In his Ignite Talk, Daniel will show you typical Icinga2 setups you might encounter in the wilds and how we can deploy them to Kubernetes clusters using acorn, a new deployment application framework for Kubernetes aimed at simplicity and developer experience. He will show you acorn’s basic idea(s), how it is configured and used in production, and where its shortcomings as of today might lie while going through the process of deploying a full-blown Icinga2 setup to a Kubernetes cluster.

Get inspired by his Talk

OSMC 2022 | Providing a Rich Interface to the Prometheus Operator

von Katja Kotschenreuther | Jul 15, 2023 | OSMC

This entry is part 9 of 10 in the series OSMC 2022

OSMC 2022 has brought lots of insightful open source expert know-how. In this blog series we will together take a glance back into our archives and pick out some of our highly appreciated speaker talks. Today we continue with David’s talk “Providing a Rich Interface to the Prometheus Operator”.

That’s what it’s all about

Configuring Prometheus isn’t exactly on anyone’s top list of “fun nights in”, but it’s something we all need to do. We spend so much of our time slinging YAML that it can be easy to forget that there are alternatives to working with Kubernetes CRDs, so let’s spend some time together taking a look at an experience that puts the developer first.

In this session, David will guide you through using Pulumi to author and deploy your own Prometheus rules and alerts with a great developer experience that provides intelligent code auto-completion right within your favourite IDE: whether you write in Go, Python, TypeScript, or event dotNet.

Get inspired by his Talk

Grab your ticket and mark your calendars! We’re looking forward to meeting you there!
