Modern cloud-native environments demand comprehensive observability, but achieving this without vendor lock-in remains challenging. This session demonstrates a new approach to full-stack observability using an entirely open source architecture. Through a live demonstration, we'll showcase how eBPF-based instrumentation via Inspektor Gadget can seamlessly capture deep system telemetry from Kubernetes environments, which is then unified and processed through OpenTelemetry Collector, and ultimately analyzed using OpenSearch and Prometheus ( Cortex ).

The presentation will reveal how this powerful combination enables unified visualization of metrics, logs, and traces without proprietary solutions. Attendees will witness practical implementations of cutting-edge features, including OpenSearch's new Prometheus metrics support and PromQL integration, while learning essential configuration steps and real-world troubleshooting techniques.

Whether you're an SRE, platform engineer, or technical architect, you'll leave with actionable insights for deploying these tools in your own environment.

Presented at OpenSearch Con NA, San Jose, 2025
