Grafana & Friends Pune x PythonPune: Happy Hours

Join us for an exciting in-person event, where Grafana & Friends Pune and PythonPune come together with our venue partners at Red Hat for an engaging morning of networking and insightful discussions!

Agenda:
Here's the detailed agenda of the meetup :

• 10:00 am - Intro and Welcome
• 10:15 am- 10:45 am:
  Session 1: 'Why Developers Should Care About OpenTelemetry for Observability' by Swapnil Kulkarni (Leading Customer Success & Solution Architecture at Kloudfuse)
  About Session: In today’s fast-paced world of software development, ensuring that applications are reliable, performant, and scalable is more important than ever. With the rise of microservices, cloud-native architectures, and distributed systems, understanding how different components of an application interact has become increasingly complex.
  This is where OpenTelemetry (OTel) comes in. OpenTelemetry is an open-source observability framework that enables developers to collect and analyze traces, metrics, and logs—the three fundamental data types needed to understand application behavior. In this session we will discuss and visualize why should developers, not just DevOps or SRE teams, care about OpenTelemetry?
• 11:00 am - 11:30 am:
  Session 2: 'Navigating Kubernetes Challenges with Observability Insights' by Saurabh Mishra (DevOps Lead at TSYS)
  About Session: Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for orchestrating containerized applications, but its complexity often brings operational challenges. Observability—encompassing logs, metrics, and traces—plays a critical role in identifying, diagnosing, and resolving issues in real-time. This session delves into how observability insights can help teams navigate common Kubernetes challenges, including performance bottlenecks, resource mismanagement, and unpredictable failures.
  Attendees will learn how to set up effective observability pipelines, utilize tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Jaeger, and implement best practices for proactive monitoring and troubleshooting. Gain actionable insights to optimize your Kubernetes operations, reduce downtime, and enhance system reliability through a robust observability strategy.
• 11:45 am - 12:15 pm:
  Session 3: 'Harnessing the Power of Multi-GPU Training with PyTorch Distributed Data Parallel (DDP)' by Abhijeet Dhumal (Engineer at Red Hat)
  About Session: As the scale and complexity of deep learning models continue to grow, efficient training strategies have become crucial for accelerating innovation and pushing the boundaries of AI research and deployment. Multi-GPU training has emerged as a game-changer, enabling faster model convergence and the ability to handle larger datasets and models. Among the various approaches available, PyTorch’s Distributed Data Parallel (DDP) stands out as a powerful and efficient solution designed for scalability and performance.
• 12:15 pm - 12:30 pm:
  Session 4: 'Leading with inclusion: My Experience in an Open Organization' by Kanchan Katare (Associate Manager at Red Hat)
• 12:30 pm - 01:30 pm:
  Celebrations, Networking, and Snacks
