Session
Talking about Network observability brings to mind horror stories of dealing with vendor MIBs, SNMP traps not firing or NetFlow overwhelming your backbone. Technologies like SNMP and NetFlow can be very useful but don't integrate well in a cloud native context.
One way to modernize network observability is with the OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation Project (OBI). While its main focus is on applications, it also contains an entire subsystem dedicated to Network Observability!
This talk showcases how OBI can be used to monitor Kubernetes & cloud provider network relationships to help you diagnose issues which might go unnoticed otherwise. After that, we'll explore how OBI can be used outside and beyond Kubernetes as well. We'll also uncover how eBPF is used to gather these metrics and what to optimize for.
