MachineGPT: Speaking the Language of Machines to Shape the Future of AI
At.conf25, we took a bold step forward—introducing the concept of MachineGPT, which brings the power of generative AI to one of the most overlooked resources: machine data. MachineGPT speaks the language of machines. Just like ChatGPT learned the grammar of words and sentences to understand questions and respond in human language, MachineGPT can learn the hidden “grammar” of how systems behave through machine data.
Bad Telemetry Data And The Instrumentation Score
Over 30% of your production logs might be useless DEBUG logs! This "bad telemetry" is expensive noise. The KubeCon talk I attended introduced a project called the Instrumentation Score which helps you find and fix bad telemetry.
How Do You Get Developers To Instrument Their Code?
How do you get developers to instrument their code? You stop asking! Instead, pitch the value of observability by building them dashboards and implementing the no-code change solutions first, demonstrating the value of instrumentation.
