The ALASCA Tech-Talks provide a platform to showcase solutions that have the potential to improve the digital sovereignty of cloud infrastructures and services, as well as for use cases that rely on these digital sovereign infrastructures and services.
This is where techies meet techies. They are united by their conviction in open source software for the operation of cloud applications and the common goal of establishing digital sovereignty in Germany and Europe.
The ALASCA Tech-Talks have been held once a month since January 2023 and enjoy a loyal listenership. You too can become part of our ALASCA Tech-Talks - whether as a listener, co-discussant or speaker. We look forward to seeing you!
Look forward to the following Tech-Talk in March:
ALASCA Tech-Talk #34
Marc Schöchlin (Technical Lead uStack IaaS and uMon Observability, Uhurutec)
An essential aspect of the reliable and sustainable operation of cloud platforms is the use of suitable observability mechanisms to evaluate the past, current, and future behaviour of these systems.
The implementation of a complete observability platform not only requires in-depth knowledge of the technical components used to operate it in a scalable, available, and compliant manner, but also practical operating experience and architectural understanding of the cloud platform being operated.
The open source project “uMon” aims to provide a standardised approach to collecting and processing metrics, log files, and traces. This allows platform operators to jointly use a standardised, scalable, and highly advanced observability platform in a “community of practice” approach. The open source approach allows mutual benefit from operational knowledge, easier management of complexity, and savings in effort that can be directed towards more important issues.
The presentation will provide an overview of the technologies used (Prometheus, Mimir, Zabbix, Opensearch, Kafka, etc.), the observability principles, and the actual technical implementation.
We have already enjoyed the following speakers and topics in the past. Of course, you can also watch all the tech talks you missed on our YouTube channel. Just click your way through.
We are always looking for exciting topics for our ALASCA Tech-Talks. Do you have an open source project that you would like to share and discuss with the community? Great, then share your Tech-Talk idea with us and become an active part of the ALASCA Tech-Talk community.
Give us a brief pitch of your Tech Talk idea via our contact form. We will review your proposal internally and get back to you as soon as possible. We are also happy to support you in finding ideas. Just get in touch with us.
