AI at Scale in Observability and Security

Discover how the exponential growth of enterprise data and the rise of AI and machine learning are transforming data analysis. This presentation explores the immense value of Large Language Models (LLMs) in processing vast, unstructured datasets for observability and security. We'll delve into the key challenges of implementing AI and LLMs at high volume and scale; from managing high token costs and ensuring data privacy to overcoming team inexperience and the infeasibility of large-scale training. Learn about "shifting left" strategies, including pre-index optimizations and post-index data tiering, and how telemetry pipelines can enable continuous data curation and inference. Join us to understand how to optimize your data streams for AI, gain better control, and achieve significant cost efficiencies in modern observability and security.

Building Agentic Systems for Site-Reliability-Engineers (SRE’s)

How do you build LLM-powered agents that can actually solve real incidents in the enterprise? In this talk, we’ll dive into how to design Agentic Systems that can triage and resolve IT incidents—not by dumping all telemetry into a LLM model, but by surgically extracting the right data across time, metrics, logs, and traces. We’ll explore strategies for reducing noise, selecting relevant signals, and building iterative reasoning chains that let LLMs converge on root causes and remediations. This talk is grounded in real-world experience building production-grade SRE agents in enterprise environments.
