  • OpenTelemetry Blueprints Unveiled: Practical OTel Deployments for Kubernetes & Platform Engineering - OpenObservability Talks S6E12

    OpenTelemetry (OTel) is now the industry standard for observability — but deploying it successfully at scale is still a major challenge. In this episode of OpenObservability Talks, we dive into the newly launched OpenTelemetry Blueprints initiative: a set of practical reference architectures designed to help Platform Engineering and SRE teams cut through the complexity.

    We explore the first official blueprints for Kubernetes and traditional infrastructure environments, covering:

    ✅ How to standardize OTel Collector deployments

    ✅ Best practices for instrumentation at scale

    ✅ Building self-service observability platforms

    ✅ What these blueprints mean for Platform Engineering and SRE teams

    Whether you're just starting your OpenTelemetry journey or trying to scale it across a large organization, this episode gives you a concrete, actionable framework to move faster and with more confidence.

  • OpenTelemetry Comes of Age: CNCF Graduation, Profiling and eBPF - OpenObservability Talks S6E11

    OpenTelemetry has officially reached CNCF graduation this month, marking a major milestone for one of the most widely adopted open observability projects. In this episode of OpenObservability Talks, we unpack what this graduation really means for the project and for users out there. 

    We also revisit the newest observability signal in OpenTelemetry, Continuous Profiling, which was released in public alpha. We explore where the effort currently stands, the adoption and usage best practices. Finally, we dive into the OpenTelemetry eBPF profiling agent and how it aims to dramatically simplify the adoption of continuous profiling for developers and platform teams.

    Our guest for this episode is Israel Ogbole, CEO & Co-founder of Zymtrace and member of the OTel Profiling SIG. Prior to founding zymtrace, he served as Principal Product Manager at Elastic, where he led Universal Profiling. He also led the donation of Elastic’s eBPF CPU profiler to OpenTelemetry. Israel also worked at Cisco AppDynamics and at Microsoft, with rich background in observability.

  • VictoriaMetrics: From Monitoring to Observability - OpenObservability Talks S6E10

    VictoriaMetrics is a fascinating open source project for metrics monitoring. In the past couple of years the project has expanded its scope from monitoring to observability, with the addition of VictoriaLogs and VictoriaTraces to the stack. In this episode, Horovits sits for a fireside chat with co-founder and Engineering Manager, Roman Khavronenko, to learn more about it. They discuss the transition, the new projects added to the stack, design considerations, and what’s coming next.

    Roman is a software engineer with experience in distributed systems, monitoring and high-performance services. Prior to VictoriaMetrics, Roman worked as an engineer at Cloudflare.

  • Operating OpenTelemetry at Scale with OpAMP - OpenObservability Talks S6E09

    As more organizations move to use OpenTelemetry in production at scale, with multiple Collectors across heterogeneous environments, a new challenge arises:  how to remotely manage, configure, and update this agent fleet in a consistent and secure way?

    This is where Open Agent Management Protocol (OpAMP) comes into the picture: it provides a standardized protocol that lets a central backend automatically configure agents, push updates, monitor their health, and collect status information. 

    In this episode Horovits hosts Andy Keller, OpAMP Maintainer and Principal Engineer at Bindplane, to discuss how OpAMP makes large-scale observability deployments much easier to operate and control. Andy shares the project status, including hot KubeCon update you don’t want to miss.

  • A Decade of CNCF: Fireside Chat with the CTO - OpenObservability Talks S6E07

    In the opening episode of 2026, we mark a major milestone—a decade to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)—with none other than the CNCF’s CTO and co-founder, Chris Aniszczyk. Chris joins host Dotan Horovits on a fascinating fireside chat, looking back at the CNCF’s journey from a bold experiment into a central pillar of modern infrastructure. They discuss the current state of cloud-native, across Kubernetes and an ecosystem of over 200 projects, and share their grounded predictions for 2026 and into the second decade.

    Beyond his role at the CNCF, Chris Aniszczyk serves as Executive Director of the Open Container Initiative (OCI), and CTO, Cloud & Infrastructure, at The Linux Foundation, the parent organization of the CNCF, OCI, OpenInfra and more. At Twitter, he created their open source program and led their open source efforts.

  • OpenTelemetry for GenAI and the OpenLLMetry project - OpenObservability Talks S6E06

    Generative AI is everywhere, but how do we monitor and observe it? OpenTelemetry has been a prominent tool and standard for observability, and recently the OTel community has been aiming to expand its scope and cover GenAI workloads with semantic conventions and tools.

    In this episode, Horovits is joined by Nir Gazit, creator of the OpenLLMetry project, and member of the OpenTelemetry Generative AI SIG. We discuss new semantic conventions, tracing prompts and model behavior, the OpenLLMetry project’s journey, and what observability even means for modern AI systems.

    Nir Gazit is the CEO and co-founder of Traceloop, and brings a wealth of data and AI experience, with previous experience leading AI teams at Google and serving as the Chief Architect at Fiverr.

  • Unveiling OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation - OpenObservability Talks S6E05

    eBPF holds the potential for true automatic instrumentation for observability. OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (OBI) is a new addition to the OpenTelemetry project, which brings the promise of a multi-language, multi-protocol auto-instrumentation, thanks to a code donation by Grafana Labs. 

    Our guest today is Mario Macías, Principal Software Engineer at Grafana Labs and OpenTelemetry eBFP Instrument maintainer. Macías joins Horovits to share about OBI, its origins, capabilities and how it fits into the broader OpenTelemetry project. 

    Mario holds a Ph.D. in Computer Architecture and for the last 8 years he's been working in observability at different companies. He also authored books in Spanish language, such as "Programación en Go" or "Introducción a Apache Spark".

  • ClickStack: ClickHouse’s New Observability Stack Unveiled - OpenObservability Talks S6E03

    The ClickHouse open source project has gained interest in the observability community, thanks to its outstanding performance benchmarks. Now ClickHouse is doubling down on observability with the release of ClickStack, a new open source observability stack that bundles in ClickHouse, OpenTelemetry and  HyperDX frontend. 

    I invited Mike Shi, the co-founder of HyperDX and co-creator of ClickStack, to tell us all about this new project. Mike is Head of Observability at ClickHouse, and brings prior observability experience with Elasticsearch and more.
