PromCon was held in Munich again this year, and this year was the best. I had a great time meeting lots of old friends and interacting with the amazing Prometheus community. I want to give a big shout out to Richi H for organizing the conference, and to everyone who attended for being an amazing audience! This year Grafana Labs carbon offset travel and food for the conference – but this post is not about that. Grafanistas gave 4 talks in the main track and another 6 lightning talks.
Hosted Kubernetes services such as AKS were introduced to help engineers deal with the complexity involved in deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters. They do not cover, however, the task of monitoring Kubernetes and the services running on it.

For that reason, we try to only introduce breaking changes when they’re really (really) required. Especially when those changes are made to an API surface.
