In this interview from KubeCon 2024, I sit down with Aunsh Chaudhari, a Product Manager at Splunk, to discuss the biggest trends shaping observability today. With a background in software development and hands-on experience with observability tools, Aunsh shares insights on OpenTelemetry adoption, cost optimization strategies, and the shift toward unified observability. We also touch on emerging topics like AI in observability and the challenges of scaling observability in modern environments.

In this video, I’m breaking down the biggest themes and key takeaways from KubeCon 2024’s observability sessions. From OpenTelemetry’s growing role as the standard for telemetry data to how AI and continuous profiling are shaping the future of proactive, scalable and cost-effective observability.
