Audience: Beginner

The number one question that someone starting out with container technology always seems to have is "Where do I get started?" While this appears to be a simple question for some, as the quick responses are "Read the docs" or "What questions do you have?"

Topic: Observability

Let’s have fun digging into observability tooling from simple red-yellow-green active checks to the latest measure-everything cloud native bleeding edge technologies. While ignoring our pagers, we will dashboard through the history and evolution of monitoring within heterogeneous large-scale environments. We will showcase typical end-users and the tooling anti-patterns they beget, and use stories of real outages to drill into interesting decisions made by the larger open source and vendor community in this ever-expanding collision of technology with engineer sleep patterns.

Whether you are a veteran kernel developer or someone that is just curious to what their kernel does, ftrace is the tool to use to see what your kernel is doing. Ftrace, is the official tracer tool of the Linux kernel, that does much more than mere tracing. You can graph into the functions that are called within any function in the kernel, live while it is running. You can see what functions call a specific function for a given load. This talk will give you a taste of the depth of what ftrace has available for you.

Haven't we all said at least once, "Burn it with fire! Let's start this whole thing from scratch!" We came pretty darn close to that. Working around the limitations and cruft of a monolith can be frustrating, but is breaking apart an application running in prod worth the risk to uptime and availability? This is the story of how PagerDuty decomposed our core product into distinct services with zero downtime and zero regrets.
