Workshop: Three Pillars of Observability: The Open Source Way

Modern observability requires correlating metrics, logs, and traces—but many teams struggle with vendor lock-in or complex self-hosted infrastructure. This advanced workshop teaches production-ready observability using open-source CNCF standards.

You'll instrument a microservices application on Kubernetes using OpenTelemetry, the vendor-neutral observability framework. Through four hands-on modules, you'll collect and correlate all three pillars: metrics (Prometheus), logs (OpenSearch), and distributed traces (OpenSearch trace analytics).

The workshop uses AWS managed services (Managed Prometheus, Managed Grafana, OpenSearch Service) for convenience, but all patterns apply to self-hosted deployments. You'll configure OpenTelemetry collectors with SigV4 authentication, build unified dashboards correlating metrics-logs-traces, and analyze service maps for performance bottlenecks.

Leave with working Kubernetes configurations, Grafana dashboards, and practical experience implementing CNCF-standard observability that avoids vendor lock-in.
