Join Andrew McCalip of Varda Space Industries as he builds Project Bob—a DIY, solar-powered, autonomous ship aiming to circumnavigate the globe using open source tools like Grafana, Raspberry Pi, and Starlink.

Grafana Beyla is a powerful eBPF-based auto-instrumentation tool for application and network observability. In this session, see how Beyla captures RED metrics and traces with zero code changes, and how it fits into the OpenTelemetry ecosystem. Perfect session for SREs, devs, and home labbers alike.

The video discusses Verizon’s strategic approach to accelerating the decommissioning (decom) of legacy Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) switches. The speaker emphasizes the importance of TDM switch decom in reducing power consumption, cutting expenses, complying with regional climate regulations, and reclaiming valuable technical space. A key driver for Verizon is the steep costs associated with maintaining aging infrastructure under increasingly stringent local carbon emission laws, particularly in the Northeast Corridor.

Want to know the difference between synthetic monitoring and real user monitoring (RUM)? You're not alone. In this video, we break down both monitoring types, show how they work, and explain when to use each—so you can build a monitoring strategy that gives you full visibility into your website or application performance. Here’s what you’ll learn: Whether you're a DevOps engineer, SRE, or IT admin, this video will help you make smarter monitoring decisions.
