More talks on:

Prometheus is an opinionated monitoring and metrics collection system particularly suitable to modern microservice and cloud native workloads.   Prometheus' design challenges many of the existing assumptions, focusing on being self-contained, easy to operate and using pull-based metrics. Grafana is the leading open source software for building dashboards with Prometheus. 

This hands on workshop will provide an introduction to Prometheus and Grafana and cover the basic concepts and moving parts in a complete, modern monitoring system. This will include deploying a functioning Prometheus and Grafana setup, basic configuration and an introduction into some of the common monitoring patterns.
