Future of Observability in Microsoft Ecosystem with Open Telemetry

In today's distributed cloud environments, understanding system behavior has become increasingly complex. While traditional monitoring tools have served us well, the Microsoft ecosystem is [embracing](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/opentelemetry-overview#opentelemetry) OpenTelemetry (OTel) as the future of telemetry instrumentation for observability.

The session will showcase real-world implementation patterns, with focus on a basic app to advanced scenarios of OpenTelemetry across Microsoft's diverse service portfolio. We'll explore how Azure's native services like a simple .NET application, Azure function, and how Azure Monitor's OpenTelemetry support brings everything together, enabling powerful analysis and visualization of your telemetry data.

Attendees will discover how to implement OpenTelemetry in .NET applications, configure custom instrumentation, enable Open Telemetry for various Azure services to leverage Azure’s OpenTelemetry support for advanced analytics with Open Standards.

Getting Started with Amazon Distro for Open Telemtry (ADOT)

Discover how AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry simplifies observability by providing a unified approach to collecting and correlating metrics and traces from your applications and AWS resources. Learn how auto-instrumentation and deep integration with AWS services can significantly reduce mean time to resolution, empowering you to identify and address performance issues faster.

This session will cover key benefits, practical use cases, and best practices for leveraging AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry in your cloud environment.

Observing your Blazor WASM apps with Open Telemetry and Real User Monitoring

OpenTelemetry is becoming increasingly popular in the cloud-native ecosystem for observability purposes. However, Monitoring Blazor WebAssembly can be quite challenging, especially when it comes to monitoring the backend of your WebAssembly and even confusing with various Open Telemetry SDKs.
In this talk, we will discuss how to instrument a sample application and configure OpenTelemetry for the backend. We will also learn how to integrate New Relic's Real User Monitoring to achieve better monitoring results.

Keeping High Performing Systems, performant: Tap into modern Observability for Symfony

Maintaining high-performing systems in the current digital landscape is crucial for any organization to keep the leads flowing, deals closing, and the conversation going.

The session will cover how to trace errors, track application performance metrics, identify external service dependencies, and proactively resolve issues to ensure optimal system performance using the New Relic Platform. It will also discuss examples and use cases where New Relic can help improve system performance and reliability.

It will also showcase how it can help capture the metrics from your Mautic deployments and measure the performance for Databases, Infrastructure, external dependencies & more

This talk is ideal for developers, system administrators, and anyone interested in improving their system reliability with Symfony application deployments.

Azure Log Analysis: Understanding Your Options and Use Cases

This session will cover the options for exploring logs in Azure, as well as various use cases for analyzing logs, streaming them to different sources, or storing them for archival purposes.

At a high level, the talk will highlight the use cases and available options for Diagnostic Logs, including:

Log Analytics workspace
Streaming logs to other sources
Logs archival to Azure Storage
Connecting logs to integrated solutions

Is OpenTelemetry the future of Observability?

As we build more distributed systems and leverage new technology stacks into our environments, engineers can become overloaded with alerts and noise. In this talk we’ll cover the core concepts of Observability and OpenTelemetry, and look at why these relatively new terms in the world of modern reliability are key to today’s engineering practices and how the industry is adopting and contributing towards the standardised telemetry
