Tutorial: OpenTelemetry Hands-on - Automatic and Manual Instrumentation for Java and Python Apps - Tobias Angerstein, Novatec Consulting GmbH & Tiffany Jernigan, Independent

Friday November 15, 2024 11:00am - 12:30pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 1 | Grand Ballroom G

In today's software landscape - in the cloud-native one in particular - observability has become a critical aspect of ensuring the performance, reliability, and security of applications. OpenTelemetry, a standard and OSS observability framework, provides a unified way to collect and export telemetry data from applications and services. This tutorial will guide participants through the process of using OpenTelemetry to instrument a simple application, collect metrics, traces, and logs, and send them to various backends for analysis. It covers the implementation and usage of OpenTelemetry into Python and Java-based applications. The exercises include: the instrumentation of a polyglot microservice application, auto vs. manual instrumentation, evaluating the collected traces, logs and metrics, configuring a collector, analysing the results in Jaeger and Prometheus. This tutorial is made for everyone seeking a pragmatic understanding of OpenTelemetry's immediate benefits.

Tutorial: Simplify and Optimize Your YAML with YAMLScript - Ingy döt Net, YAML LLC

Friday November 15, 2024 2:00pm - 3:30pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 1 | Grand Ballroom G

Nobody likes YAML (or anything for that matter) when its a giant and repetitive mess. Of course, there are already existing technologies like Helm and Kustomize that help provide make YAML nicer for Kubernetes. The new kid on the block is YAMLScript. Being a complete programming language (built over a vast and mature ecosystem) its capabilities are effectively limitless. That said, its primary focus is on refactoring and improving existing and new large YAML configurations. YAMLScript can help you make the most of YAML in any domain; even those that already make great use of Helm and Kustomize. Having been created by an original inventor and current lead maintainer of the YAML data language (Ingy döt Net) you can count on it meshing well with the YAML you already know. In this hands on interactive tutorial, Ingy will teach you how to make the most of YAML and YAMLScript.
