Curse of Cardinality: History and Evolution of Monitoring at Scale

Let’s have fun digging into observability tooling from simple red-yellow-green active checks to the latest measure-everything cloud native bleeding edge technologies. While ignoring our pagers, we will dashboard through the history and evolution of monitoring within heterogeneous large-scale environments. We will showcase typical end-users and the tooling anti-patterns they beget, and use stories of real outages to drill into interesting decisions made by the larger open source and vendor community in this ever-expanding collision of technology with engineer sleep patterns.

Kubernetes Users Speak Up

What's it really like migrating to, and running, large installations of Kubernetes?  Several institutional users who depend on Kubernetes for their infrastructure will talk about it, sharing advantages, pitfalls, and experiences. This panel, which will include engineers and managers from Github, Datadog, Ticketmaster and others, will discuss their journeys to deploying Kubernetes.  They will be available to answer your questions about real production use.  Join us to learn more about what it will be like when you move to the container cloud.
