Observability Virtual Conference 2020 – Solving the Hidden Costs of Kubernetes with Observability

Presenters: Austin Parker

Abstract:

Kubernetes has enabled software organizations to realize the benefits of microservices through its convenient and powerful abstractions. Deploying, scaling, and running distributed software at scale is much easier through the use of Kubernetes. However, these benefits have not come without costs compared to traditional software operations. Spiraling monitoring expenses, the creation of single points of human failure, and a lack of understanding of service dependencies all contribute to significant hidden costs associated with running software with Kubernetes. In this talk, we’ll discuss how observability addresses these costs and helps you quantify and understand them. You’ll learn how new open source tools such as OpenTelemetry can help you understand performance of cloud-native software, and how you can easily get started using them today. Come be a part of the future of cloud-native observability!
