"Ticking Time Bombs: 3 #Cloud Computing Stocks to Dump Before the Damage Is Done"

I don't agree with all of this, esp. re: @datadoghq. #Observability & #AIOps have never been hotter!

But the author makes good points. Fair to be cautious at least.

Cisco announces its intentions to acquire Splunk in $28 billion deal https://www.admin-magazine.com/News/Cisco-Plans-to-Acquire-Splunk #cybersecurity #observability #Cisco #Splunk #security #monitoring

In this blog I discuss the need to summarise the detail of modern #observability in order to use it effectively at scale. I cover:

😮 Telemetry only makes sense when we have context
🤓 Sharing telemetry between engineering teams
👔 Leveraging observability to empower non-technical stakeholders
🌏 The need to share service status in distributed systems
👑 Bridging the gap in perspective between leadership and engineering

Once, when I worked on observability systems, I helped a team with performance issues. While doing that, I discovered that they were inferring CPU utilization by measuring RAM utilization... rather than just using the available CPU metrics.

It's not that they didn't know about them, they just didn't believe them for reasons that I can no longer remember save for the emotion of being totally and completely bewildered.

#tech #observability

One good consequence of #Cisco buying #Splunk is that it brings clarity of mission to the product. Splunk under Cisco ownership can focus on system-level log management and event correlation, without trying too hard to shoehorn app-level #observability into its offering.
https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/21/cisco-to-acquire-splunk-in-28b-mega-deal/

I wrote a straightforward guide to auto-instrumenting #nodejs for tracing using #OpenTelemetry and #Jaeger!

This is going to be the first in a series of blogs where I build on this starting point. Next up I'm going to add the #OTEL Collector, and later look at custom instrumentation, head and tail based sampling, using tools other than Jaeger, and metrics.

I've just finished reading the "Observability Engineering" book by O'Reilly.

It's a good book. I must admit I've learnt a lot about #observability, even if I already had a good understanding of the subject.

I've especially enjoyed the data storage chapters and some gems about the "cultural" aspects of observability.

My most important take though is the concept of the Error Budget (https://www.blameless.com/blog/error-budget), definitely I'm going to put that into good practice soon.

That said, while the book is great I feel that it's too long and I think that the authors could have taken a more pragmatic approach to writing some of the chapters. I think there are lots of "repetitions".

Easier said that done of course.

What are *key* observability concepts you think software developers should know?

#observability #o11y #monitoring

The three components of #observability are monitoring, traceability, and metrics. Major cloud providers offer observability tools of their own, but organizations need insight across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Read on: https://www.releaseteam.com/blog/ #multicloud

A good prep for my talk on observability being a #data #analytics problem 😀

Outside of "how much" and "where is all of it," what should you talk to your users about re: their #o11y data needs?

Workflows?
Tooling gaps?
Metrics to improve?
Platform feature requests?
Current toil that feels unnecessary?
What other data should you bring to the discussion?

#observability #o11y #OTel #opentelemetry #python

This week on #SlightReliability I chat with Martin Thwaites from Honeycomb.io about #observability during #development (#ODD). Some of my takeaways:

💻 How observability in development frees up developers to spend less time debugging and more time writing code.

🤖 That manual instrumentation is where the power is.

💰 Keeping the cost of observability data down through a combination of head and tail based sampling. "Keeping every span of trace data is irresponsible".

"@Splunk unveils #Splunk #AI to ease #security and #observability through #GenerativeAI"

Seems like a grab bag of 'capabilities', not products.

And a weird flex to suggest users need AI just to write queries. 🤔

I expected more from an #AIOps pioneer.

I really love #Honeycomb and #OpenTelemetry. Big fan of how it gives a much greater perspective of the entire system.

I will say though, that in Java with async methods across services can be a little... entertaining to get the telemetry right 😬

Hello! I'm Chris, a Site Reliability Engineer (#SRE #devops) working at @wikimediafoundation, the non-profit that administers #Wikipedia and other projects. My posts here will focus on improving #latency and #reliability, user-centric #observability, working with #kubernetes and #Python, sometimes #PHP or #Puppet. I love silly #shell #oneliners and tinkering with systems. For fun I dabble in photography and gaming.

#introductions #introduction

Hello everyone, I'm Anthony.

I'm a Linux engineer/SRE in my day job and interested in #automation #observability and #performance

Beyond those, I enjoy tinkering with #electronics #iot #homeassistant in my #homelab

Stepping away from the home, I love to be #outdoors and on my #mtb here in the wonderful #pnw

#introduction

So how much am I missing out on by not having/trying out #tracing?

Context: Working on a system developed by less than ten people, made out of a few semi-monolithic services, most of which centers on ingesting and serving a hundred-odd usually-independent datasets.
