Observable Lightning Talks November 2024

Looking for tips from thought leaders of the observability industry?
Observable lighting talks open the stage to three speakers sharing their experiences, recommendations, best practices, and more.

In this edition:
1️⃣ Pini Reznik - Real-time Carbon Insights for Cloud Infrastructure
In the face of the climate crisis, businesses seek ways to reduce their carbon footprint. A crucial first step is the accurate, real-time measurement of emissions. This talk introduces Aether, an open source tool that leverages Open Telemetry to calculate the carbon footprint of cloud infrastructure. Aether empowers engineering teams with the insights to understand and directly impact the emissions generated by their IT systems.
2️⃣ Chris Larsen - Unifying Telemetry at Netflix
We'll cover Netflix's observability journey from users staring at RRDTool graphs to a sprawling system of various telemetry with canary analysis, auto-remediation, and ML analysis. Join us on a quest with the CNCF observability query language standardization working group as we search high and low for a usable language to unify the egress of observability data in the same way Open Telemetry has standardized data ingress.
3️⃣ Nic Vermande - The Quest to Build a Unified Framework for Workload IAM
Modern cloud-native applications grapple with complex identity and access control challenges. Manually configuring Cloud IAM, network policies, and short-lived credentials at scale is tedious and error-prone, risking security breaches and compliance issues. Come join us as Nic shares how Otterize and Intent-Based Access Control (IBAC) tackle these problems, streamlining security management and making life easier for everyone involved.
