OSMC 2022 | OpenTelemetry 101

by Katja Kotschenreuther | Mar 11, 2023 | OSMC

This entry is part 4 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 Dotan’s talk “OpenTelemetry 101”.

That’s what it’s all about

Everyone wants observability into their system, but find themselves with too many vendors and tools, each with its own API, SDK, agent, and collectors. In his talk Dotan will present OpenTelemetry, an ambitious open source project with the promise of a unified framework for collecting observability data. With OpenTelemetry you could instrument your application in a vendor-agnostic way, and then analyse the telemetry data in your backend tool of choice, whether Prometheus, Jaeger, Zipkin, or others. He will cover the current state of the various projects of OpenTelemetry (across programming languages, exporters, receivers, protocols), some of which not even GA yet, and provide useful guidance on how to get started with it.

OSMC 2022 | Open Source: Open Choice – A DevOps Guide for OSS Adoption

by Katja Kotschenreuther | Feb 18, 2023 | OSMC

This entry is part 2 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. Let’s continue with Hila’s talk “Open Source: Open Choice – A DevOps Guide for OSS Adoption”.

That’s what it’s all about

Choosing the right open source project to use can be quite challenging – not knowing if it’s going to be the right fit, how it will behave, and if you end up wasting time trying to make it all work. We’ve all been there. But what if Hila told you there’s a practical way to have a clear understanding of how to incorporate an OSS project in your environment? In this talk, she is going to speak about the DevOps perspective on open source and the challenges Infra-focused engineers have with choosing the right project for their environment. As a DevOps Engineer, she has seen a lot of things, stumbled upon a lot of non-based decisions, and so she will present practical advice on how to choose an OSS project for your dev/prod environment and will talk about the business mindset you should have to evaluate the key indicators based on your needs and specific pain points.

OSMC 2022 | Monitoring multiple Kubernetes Clusters with Thanos

by Katja Kotschenreuther | Jan 20, 2023 | OSMC

This entry is part 5 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 Pascal’s talk “Monitoring multiple Kubernetes Clusters with Thanos”.

That’s what it’s all about

By now, Prometheus has become the defacto standard for monitoring containerised applications. However, when it comes to monitoring multiple Kubernetes clusters through a single plane of glass, additional tools are required. In his talk, Pascal will show how to setup a production monitoring landscape based on Prometheus and Thanos, spanning several Kubernetes clusters. Focussing on examples and best practices, he will also elaborate on how to secure communication between the individual components.

OSMC 2022 | Unifying Observability: Weaving Prometheus, Jaeger, and Open Source Together to Win

by Katja Kotschenreuther | Jan 20, 2023 | OSMC

This entry is part 3 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 Jonah’s talk “Unifying Observability: Weaving Prometheus, Jaeger, and Open Source Together to Win”.

That’s what it’s all about

Observability is a hugely popular topic, however, for open-source users, significant challenges remain. For starters, related licensing is frequently problematic—and even when it works, there is no pure Apache 2.0 licensed technology to get data collection and visibility into your logs, metrics, and traces. Thankfully, this is gradually changing as the community builds new capabilities into OpenSearch Dashboards to unify the visualization of logs from OpenSearch, metrics from PromQL compatible systems, and traces from Jaeger.

In his session, Jonah examines how this important project is evolving as a fork of the previously popular ELK stack. He will also take a closer look at the current state of OpenSearch and Jaeger and discusses how these efforts are going to provide a foundation for unified observability to the open-source communities. By using OpenTelemetry for data collection, this foundation provides a pure Apache 2.0 licensed open-source platform for unified observability. OpenSearch also includes features like Alerting and Machine Learning, which are not part of Jaeger today. The work on this foundational integration is well underway and will provide open-source users with a solid alternative to vendor controlled and provided solutions. This also opens up the marketplace for solutions to be created to host and manage these at scale, something I’ve seen with countless other CNCF projects. Jonah’s talk will be presented by a contributor and maintainer of OpenSearch, Jaeger, and OpenTelemetry, which are all vibrant user communities.

OSMC 2022 | VictoriaMetrics: scaling to 100 million metrics per second

by Katja Kotschenreuther | Jan 14, 2023 | NETWAYS, OSMC

This entry is part 1 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 will start with Aliaksandr’s talk “VictoriaMetrics: scaling to 100 million metrics per second”. His session will be very interesting for software engineers and DevOps familiar with observability and modern monitoring systems, or for those who’re interested in building scalable high performant databases for time series.

That’s what it’s all about

The growth of observability trends and Kubernetes adoption generates more demanding requirements for monitoring systems. Volumes of time series data increase exponentially, and old solutions just can’t keep up with the pace. In his talk Aliaksandr will cover how and why they created a new open source time series database from scratch. Which architectural decisions, which trade-offs we had to take in order to match the new expectations and handle 100 million metrics per second with VictoriaMetrics.
