Amgen has been on a journey to confront the multi-million dollar elephant in the room. Technical debt that had been passed down for 10 years in their monitoring portfolio. But how to overcome inertia and a failure to understand how to maximize internal value for data that belongs to organization to begin with?

Monitoring Kubernetes is vital to understanding the health and performance of a cluster, but which metrics are most important to add to your dashboards and alert on? Jacob will discuss how to most effectively monitor and visualize your Kubernetes cluster using the Grafana Kubernetes plugin and PromQL.

When performance metrics are combined with active user experience and machine learning, we can gain new insights about why a business critical application is slow, what components are involved, and how this impacts users and hardware.

Fred Moyer talks about IronDB, and the new Grafana data source they developed.

The RED Method defines three key metrics you should measure for every microservice in your architecture. It gives developers a template for instrumenting their services and building dashboards in a consistent, repeatable fashion.

Dan Cech discusses some of the new features in Graphite.

Significant amounts of time have been invested in performance testing and analysis of OpenStack. In this talk I share how we use Grafana and many other Open Source tools to monitor the performance of an OpenStack Cloud while benchmarking.

From zero to Kubernetes: Which challenges do I face while migrating a cloud-unready Java application such as HiveMQ from a classical Linux IT- environment to Docker-Orchestrator Kubernetes?
