My career aspiration 20 years ago: OMG I must follow the path to manager, director, and VP otherwise I'll ber a total failure!! My career aspiration today: I just wanna learn cool shit, tell others about it, and get paid well for it.

I have never eaten so much quiche lorraine, pain au chocolat, croissant, and macarons as I have in the past week. No regrets. #kubecon

Looking for ideas for a "talk mascot" for my next talk. If you follow my talks, I always have a talk mascot throughout my slides, created through AI-generated art. Past talk mascots have included llamas, capybaras (still my fave), penguins, and sloths. Suggestions??

The recording is already up, if you can believe it! youtu.be/LJd1pJ0k28g?...

Prometheus and OpenTelemetry: Better Together - Adriana Villela & Reese Lee

Don't miss out! Join us at our next Flagship Conference: KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America in Salt Lake City from November 12 - 15, 2024. Connect with our current graduated, incubating, and sandbox projects as the community gathers to further the education and advancement of cloud native computing. Learn more at https://kubecon.io Prometheus and OpenTelemetry: Better Together - Adriana Villela, ServiceNow Cloud Observability & Reese Lee, New Relic Prometheus is a fixture of the observability landscape, widely relied upon for monitoring and alerting within organizations. Despite its utility in the cloud native ecosystem, it presents operational challenges. How can this be alleviated? Enter OpenTelemetry (OTel), Prometheus’ best friend! Join Adriana Villela and Reese Lee as they navigate an observability realm where OTel enhances Prometheus' capabilities: * Learn how to the OTel Collector's Prometheus Receiver can be used to ingest Prometheus metrics and the OTel Operator's Target Allocator (TA) for Prometheus service discovery. * Learn how the TA ensures even distribution of Prometheus targets. * Discover alternative methods for Prometheus infrastructure metric collection through OTel-native options like the K8s cluster receiver and kubelet receiver. The session will weigh the pros and cons of this setup and conclude with a demonstration of the enhanced Prometheus landscape with OTel, using Grafana to render the metrics.

Awwww, thanks for posting these pics!! 💜💜

For #IWD, I don't want a fancy luncheon or guest speaker or whatever the fuck y'all think will make us feel oh so special today. I want us ladies to get the respect we deserve, and for the love of space, make the mansplainers go away. Mkayyyyy?

What fresh hell is this?? No YYYY/MM/DD? Anything else just makes my brain explode.

I am using a Knight Rider meme for an upcoming talk at #KubeCon. Honk if you liked Knight Rider as a kid!! Also, what's there not to love? Talking car and cool buttons? Hello??

Someday I would love to figure out where the mysterious monthly charge of $1.21 to my Google cloud account is coming from…

How did we get to this point where people don’t care about the basic rules of living among other humans and let their dogs poop on the sidewalk without cleaning up after them, or have loud conversations on the subway while on speakerphone?
