Speakers & topics

1. Demistifying K8s Observability with GenAI and LLMs by Asaf Yigal, CTO @ Logz.io

We're lucky to have Asaf Yigal in town to speak with us. He's CTO and a co-founder of Logz.io. He's spoken at KubeCon and other major events, and here's a sneak peak of his talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr5ZC54vAgQ

2. eBPF w/ Shawn Pitts, Grafana Labs

Shawn's a great presenter who previously taught us how to use observability tools including Grafana. This time, he's talking eBPF. As we've seen from a few talks recently, this is hugely important to know about for security, performance, and observability.

3. Home lab set up w/ Don Luchini

Don is a big community contributor, including as an organizer of the Boston DevOps Days conference.

Don's got experience to share after a recent home lab build. No matter your home lab, there's always something new to learn. For Don recently, that was MetalLB vs other alternatives (Traefik, Holepunch, etc).
