Migrating Kubernetes Cluster from one provider to another (Surya Pandian, TrueLayer)
TrueLayer's journey of migrating kubernetes cluster from rancher to EKS Problems along the way of migration: Dependency management between distributed systems; Disabling message consumers across all services; Third party node scanners tools taking EKS down.

Senior Developer at TrueLayer. Known for flux2 migration story that got posted in CNCF blog https://www.cncf.io/blog/2023/03/09/flux2-migration-how-we-dropped-our-cpu-usage-by-nearly-40x/

Taking back control of your telemetry data with Fluent Bit (Eric D. Schabell, Chronosphere)
It's time you stopped letting your telemetry data pressure your budgets and get in the way of solving issues with agility! No more I say! Take back control of your telemetry data as we guide you through the open source project Fluent Bit. Learn how to manage your telemetry data from source to destination using the pipeline phases covering collection, parsing, aggregation, transformation, and forwarding from any source to any destination. Buckle up for a fun ride as you learn by exploring how telemetry pipelines work, how to set up your first pipeline, and exploring several common use cases that Fluent Bit helps solve. All this backed by a self-paced, hands-on workshop that attendees can pursue at home after this session (https://o11y-workshops.gitlab.io/workshop-fluentbit).

Software development is an art: why it is so difficult to estimate tasks (Michael Panin)
Estimating software development tasks is notoriously difficult. I have seen tasks estimated as 1h taking weeks, and week-estimated tasks taking under a day. There is a great desire to make accurate predictions, industry is infested with various rituals, but to no help. Still, many companies manage to have a decent long-term roadmaps. I will share with you my thoughts on why estimating is so difficult, what "time to finish the task" means in practice, and how to live with that.
