"Anyways! It should maybe work! Who knows! Git commit! Git push! Kubectl! Argh ahhh!"
No, actually that's the QOTD
Did you know that Jaegerv2 came out a couple of days ago? No more agents and stuff, all in on OpenTelemetry.
Jaeger also has a superior UI. This is @wiggitywhitney's professional opinion and nobody is allowed to disagree 😂
Glad to know I'm not the only person who runs "git commit -m 'something'" on the regular. 😂
Next we want to install tracing: we'll get to pick between Jaeger and Zipkin.
Why do we need tracing? You can learn from metrics that something is wrong, but tracing helps you understand the why.
(P.S. Simulation also helps you understand why *cough cough* simkube.dev)
Oh look Prometheus has problems, introducing Thanos and Cortex.
"We can store an unlimited amount of data for an infinite amount of time!"
Wow TIL. 😂
Ok we're voting now, looks like Jaeger is winning. Good choice because Zipkin is not in the CNCF so wouldn't demo it anyways!
Unlike previous years, I'm spending 80% of my time at kubecon on the vendor floor. Which means no live blogging of talks for the most part. 😢
But I'll still try to post some of my experience at the con! For example, they have donuts!
My one actual talk today is "Choose Your Own Adventure: The Observability Odyssey" by @wiggitywhitney and Viktor Farcic!
Ok the words are all gone I used them all up. No more words today.
"Ok by the way, if you voted for Pixie you made a huge mistake. You'll see why in a little bit."
