Hybrid Cloud Monitoring Explained: On-Prem + Cloud + Kubernetes in One View

Understand what hybrid cloud monitoring is and why it’s critical for managing modern distributed IT environments. Hybrid cloud monitoring helps organizations unify visibility across on-prem infrastructure, public cloud platforms, virtual machines, containers, and Kubernetes clusters in a single monitoring platform. In this video, learn how fragmented monitoring tools create operational blind spots and slow down incident response across hybrid environments.

OpenTelemetry Monitoring with Netdata

If you've standardized on OpenTelemetry (or you're heading that way), you probably know the collector gets your data out, but where it lands and how useful it is once it gets there are separate problems. Netdata now ingests both OTLP metrics and OTLP logs natively, so your OTel pipelines feed directly into the same monitoring experience as everything else in your infrastructure: same dashboards, same alerting, same query interface. No separate backends, no context switching.

Future Solving with Brian Evergreen (Or: How to Escape those AI Career Jitters)

Brian Evergreen joins the show to challenge the fear-driven narrative around AI and work. Rather than treating the future as something coming for us, Brian argues that leaders and individuals should decide what future they want to create, then work backwards. He explores why “start with the problem” thinking limits AI strategy, how visible strategy and relational leadership can unlock better transformation, and why human connection may become more valuable—not less—in an AI-enabled world. A thoughtful conversation on escaping AI career anxiety, building resilient networks, and creating value beyond efficiency.
