TALK DETAILS:

"Crafting Your Platform Experience" with René Dudfield. Showing how you can construct a custom platform dashboard. Headlamp is an opensource CNCF sandbox project for making custom Kubernetes platform experiences.

Making your own dashboard for your organization's platform has some advantages. You can provide a minimal set of features for your users in one place. Instead of all the features in a portal, you can reduce it down to only the ones they need.
I will show:

• How to extend Headlamp to craft this custom experience for your platforms users.
• How you can provide UIs for CNCF ecosystem tools inside your platform UI. Rather than use separate tools.

"Batteries included: Making [open] Observability easier for users" with Aditya Konarde

With dozens of both open and closed source tools available at hand, setting up observability for your applications may seem like a daunting task.

In this talk, Aditya will share his experiences with observability, and show some ways to get you a head-start on your journey. With a collection of open-source tooling, we will take a look at how observability can be made easier for Kubernetes and beyond.

This talk will conclude with a demo that shows up some of the latest advancements in open-source observability tools.
