Rootconf 2025 Annual Conference CfP

Overview
With every Kubernetes cluster, observability has become a daunting task. Understanding complex, distributed workload performance, health, and behavior is critical for ensuring reliability and efficiency. This talk will explore best practices for observability in Kubernetes environments, covering logs, traces, metrics, events, and uptime.

We will discuss how we have consolidated observability data from multiple sources and streamlined the process of alerting teams in real time using Clutch and Temporal. We will also showcase how we have leveraged NATS and TimescaleDB for Incident Response Management and On-Call Alerting.

Takeaways
This presentation addresses the community’s need for standardized observability solutions by showcasing the practical applications of OpenSearch, VictoriaMetrics, ArgoCD, Jaeger, and Opentelemetry in Kubernetes environments.

The talk aims to help the attendees gain clarity and knowledge on how to enhance their monitoring capabilities, thereby improving the reliability and performance of cloud-native applications, by sharing the implementation strategies and lessons learned.

Audience
This session will be beneficial for Platform, Infrastructure Engineers, and SREs who want to know how they can enhance their existing Kubernetes observability so that they can improve reliability and operational visibility.
