Cloud Native + Open Source Virtual Summit China 2020

OpenTelemetry provides a single set of APIs, libraries, agents, and collector services to capture distributed traces and metrics from your application. You can analyze them using Prometheus, Jaeger, and other observability tools. OpenTelemeetry is now in beta. Different platforms chose different values developing software system. This talk describes the principles OpenTelemetry values the most building the best telemetry solution. It explains how hard it may be to keep it simple, yet performant and expressive. Finally, you will learn how you can contribute.

Thanos is an open-source CNCF Sandbox project that builds upon Prometheus components to create a global-scale highly available monitoring system. It seamlessly extends Prometheus in a few simple steps and it is already used in production by dozens of companies that aim for high multi-cloud scale for metrics while keeping low maintenance cost. During this talk, Xiang Dai, maintainer of Thanos will explain basic concepts behind the project, its use cases, and tradeoffs. You will learn where to start and how to quickly deploy Thanos on Kubernetes without impacting your existing Prometheus setup. This talk is recommended for beginners that want to know more about running highly available Prometheus setup at scale with potentially unlimited metric retention with the lowest possible effort and cost.

Cortex is a CNCF project that provides horizontally scalable, highly available, multi-tenant, long term storage for Prometheus metrics, and a horizontally scalable, Prometheus-compatible query API. In this talk, we will talk about everything that led to the recent 1.0 release of Cortex, what it means to the project, users and community. We will then build upon that, and talk about all the new and exciting features the Cortex team is working on, including the next generation storage engine based on top of Prometheus TSDB and Thanos. We will cover why we're building the new engine the scaling challenges we faced and how we fixed them.

This deep dive session will go in detail currently ongoing efforts happening within SIG Instrumentation to share with the audience concrete pieces of work to encourage future collaboration. Specifically, we go into our ongoing efforts with the Kubernetes metrics, how we ensure stability guarantees and our efforts to increase their overall reliability. Software engineering and operations are both disciplines practiced in SIG Instrumentation, and any experience will help the special interest group's mission. Join this session to learn how to get involved in SIG Instrumentation to make instrumentation even better!

Logging in distributed environments is very demanding, specifically when applications generate data at high rates. On this case processing data as fast as possible is one requirement, but also there is another one in high demand: low resources usage, keep your CPU and Memory usage as low as possible. The challenge is: how to optimize for fast data processing and optimizing for low CPU and Memory usage?, this is when Fluent Bit joins the game. Fluent Bit is a sub-project of Fluentd written in C language with a pluggable architecture and optimized for performance. It's becoming one of the preferred options for cloud native environments. In this session you will learn about it architecture, performance designs and best practices.

With the 2.x version Prometheus fixed previous scalability limitations and greatly improved the performance. With the growing community the development velocity of the Prometheus increased, allowing us to improve things further. While the number of external integrations grows, Prometheus still pushes the boundaries of what is achievable with vanilla capabilities of out-of-box solution. During this talk Goutham and Bartek, Prometheus Maintainers, will walk through those advanced usage patterns of the Prometheus and new, useful features available in newest versions.
