Dear ALASCA Community,
we are happy to invite you to our March Tech-Talk on 27th March 2026, 11
am. This time, you can look forward to the following topic and speakers:
_*Standardized observability at scale with uMon
*_
*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 behavior 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 standardized
approach to collecting and processing metrics, log files, and traces.
This allows platform operators to jointly use a standardized, 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 toward 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.
Attached to this e-mail, we are also sending you the invite for your
calendars. Please feel free to share it with whomever might be
interested in this Tech-Talk.
Have a nice day and see you soon,
Helena
