Daytime | Instructor-led Hackathon (sponsored by Cisco, capacity limited)

‍Join Evolutio's workshop and hackathon to get hands-on with OpenTelemetry & Full-Stack Observability. Hackers will walk away with a better understanding of ways to mature Observability and User Experience in their organizations.

Track A: The Hackathon (Workshop + Friendly Competition)

Here's the Hackathon Lab Runbook and Scenario: https://lab.evolutiops.com/

Who is this for? Bring a team of 2-4 colleagues (or join solo and we'll pair you up). Engineering, SRE, DevOps, Coding, Network/ IT Ops, or Infrastructure Eng are some roles that'll benefit, and we'll work with some JSON, however not all competitors need to code.

Track B: Leadership Roundtable (Discussion, Afternoon Only)

A leadership roundtable discussing the impact of Cloud Native Application Observability on User Experience, and also how the OpenTelemetry data standard is helping to mature observability at software application-driven organizations. We'll uncover real use cases for improving Observability maturity, and successful integrations with Cisco Full-Stack Observability and other hyperscaler environments, such as AWS.
