💣 Rate my Pizza: Cooking custom metrics and traces with OpenTelemetry

Talk Description: OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation is a great start for observability, but the default metrics and traces don't always answer the real questions. In this interactive session, we'll explore custom instrumentation through a live pizza rating application, with audience data visualised in Grafana.
We'll look at metric types like Gauge, Counter and Histogram, and learn how to enrich traces with the context that really matters.
By the end of the session, we'll settle the ultimate question: what pizza does the audience prefer?

Speakers: Enis Spahi, Architect Consultant at OpenValue

💣 Breaking Kubernetes for fun and profit

Talk Description: Kubernetes is complex, powerful… and surprisingly easy to mess up. In this talk, we’ll take a guided tour through the dark alleys of Kubernetes misconfigurations, privilege escalations, and real-world attack vectors. You’ll see live demos of how attackers exploit innocent-looking setups — and more importantly, how you can detect, prevent, and recover from them.

Speakers: Ali Alp, Distinguished Software Architect @ Brainlab

💣 Grafana Drilldown – queryless satisfaction

In this talk Basti will cover the drilldown features that help you navigating your metrics, logs, traces and profiles without learning to write queries.

• Metrics Drilldown is the way of browsing Prometheus-compatible Datasources without the need of writing PromQL
• Logs Drilldown lets you automatically visualize and explore your Loki Logs
• Traces Drilldown helps fetching insights from Tempo traces data
• Profiles Drilldown assists you in exploring your profile data that is stored in Pyroscope

Learn some tricks that help you managing your observability data faster and more efficient.

Speakers: Basti Schubert, Solutions Engineer @ Grafana Labs

The event is well-suited for DevOps and Site-Reliability engineers, and we welcome people who are new to Grafana or observability. We look forward to seeing you all there!
