Why InfluxDB is Building Flux, a new scripting and query language

The new Flux (formerly IFQL) super-charges queries both for analytics and data science. Get an overview of the language features as well as the moving parts for a working deployment. Grafana shares Flux’s passion for analytics and data science. For that reason, they are very excited to showcase the new Flux support within Grafana, and a couple of common analytics use cases to get the most out of your data.

How Not to Fail at Data Visualization

Grafana, with its huge amount of data sources and plugins, has all the capabilities one needs to create accurate graphs. Although creating dashboards is easy, interpreting each panel is hard if it’s not correctly visualised. Misinterpretation is one of the most common causes of wrong conclusions that make us hunt ghosts during debugging sessions. There are many common pitfalls which we can avoid if we follow some rules.

Building confidence via automated container security scanning - Xavier Vello - DockerCon EU 2018

Container image security scanners are one of several tools we use in our development process to ensure the software that we ship to our customers is reliable and safe. In this talk, we’ll discuss our approach to continuous vulnerability monitoring (spoiler: it’s all automated), and how it increases our responsiveness while decreasing our operational cost.

How to Make Kubernetes Work for Everyone

Kubernetes is the de-facto container orchestration standard, used to manage Docker containers in production. With every cloud provider offering Kubernetes services, it is also shaping up to be a standard form of computing infrastructure. At Rancher Labs, we build products and technologies that drive the mass market adoption of Kubernetes.

Lessons learned implementing ChatOps (DevOps + messaging) at large Enterprises - Corey Hulen

Email overload, distributed teams and excessive meetings have caused many organizations to move their DevOps teams to messaging platforms and thus adopt ChatOps workflows. With thousands of open source installs and hundreds of customer implementations, we have a few lessons to share on interesting DevOps workflows, how incidents can be effectively communicated across distributed teams and what messaging in secure and regulated environments should look like.
