Observable Lightning Talks November 2024

Observable Lightning Talks is back with new speakers for the edition of November 2024. Come and join us to hear tips and tricks from Industry Experts.

Observable lighting talks open the stage to three speakers sharing their experiences, recommendations, best practices, and more.

And if you have any questions for our speakers, you can ask them during the live panel discussion.

Come and join us on the 7th of November for the new edition of Observable Lighting Talks.

Where?

The event will be broadcast live on Linkedin, Twitch, Facebook, and of course Youtube.

Observability and SRE practices rely on many frameworks available on the market. However, since technology evolves at a very fast pace, it can be difficult to keep track of the latest solutions and technologies and implement all the best practices.

To help you improve your practices and understand the best of breed of the latest technology, IsitObservable is launching a new Show: Observable Lightning Talks.

The concept is simple: Thought leaders from the observability industry will help us along in our technology journey.

Each Observable Lighting Talk will host three speakers covering three different topics that we all love:

  • SRE methodologies

  • OpenObservability

  • OpenTelemetry

  • Security

The Observable lightning talk is planned on the 7th of November between 12PM - 1:30PM EST ( 6PM-7:30PM CEST)

Here is the Agenda for the first edition :

The 3 presentations of this edition are :

Real-time Carbon Insights for Cloud Infrastructure

Pini Reznik

Pini Reznik, CEO and Co-Founder at re:cinq

In the face of the climate crisis, businesses are seeking ways to reduce their carbon footprint. A crucial first step is accurate, real-time measurement of emissions. This talk introduces Aether, an open-source tool that leverages Open Telemetry to calculate the carbon footprint of cloud infrastructure. Aether empowers engineering teams with the insights to understand and directly impact the emissions generated by their IT systems.

Unifying Telemetry at Netflix

Chris Larsen, Observability Engineer at Netflix

We'll cover the Netflix observability journey from users staring at RRDTool graphs to a sprawling system of various telemetry with canary analysis, auto-remediation and ML analysis. Join us on a quest with the CNCF observability query language standardization working group as we search high and low for a usable language to unify the egress of observability data in the same way Open Telemetry has standardized the ingress of data.

The Quest to Build a Unified Framework for Workload IAM

Nic Vermande, Devrel leader at Otterize

Modern cloud-native applications grapple with complex identity and access control challenges. Manually configuring Cloud IAM, network policies, and short-lived credentials at scale is tedious and error-prone, risking security breaches and compliance issues. Come join us as Nic shares how Otterize and Intent-Based Access Control (IBAC) tackle these problems, streamlining security management and making life easier for everyone involved.
