AWS re:Invent '24: Generative AI Observability, Platform Engineering, and 99.9995% Availability

I attended Amazon Web Services re:Invent conference. This is AWS's annual user conference, which takes over most of Las Vegas for a week. There’s a lot to do and take in—customer stories galore, new tech, learning different use cases, and all the walking. But you’re here to hear what I learned, so I’ve broken it down into sections. Enjoy!

From Gartner IOCS 2024 Conference: AI, Observability Data, and Telemetry Pipelines

Last week, I attended one of the last conferences of the year with team Mezmo: the Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies Conference in Las Vegas. Not surprisingly, there were over 20 sessions covering observability and how it is getting increasingly critical in the new complex distributed computing environment. Of course, there were many sessions, including all keynotes that addressed the advent and impact of AI on IT operations and observability.

Our team's learnings from Kubecon: Use Exemplars, Configuring OTel, and OTTL cookbook

A few weeks ago, members of Mezmo were at Kubecon and attended several sessions. You can see a post with my recap and session highlights. Today, though, I’m going to discuss three sessions that my colleagues found interesting for our peers in Observability.
