As organizations increasingly adopt cloud-native architectures, the ability to effectively operationalize telemetry data has become a critical factor in maintaining system reliability.
Join Elastic for their upcoming Interactive Observability Lab designed specifically for Developers, Operations and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams.
Elastic's interactive lab moves beyond theory, providing participants with a hands-on private Elastic environment to actively manage and troubleshoot a Kubernetes-based OpenTelemetry demo application.
On May 5th, through direct code and configuration modifications, attendees will master four key pillars of modern observability:
-
Kubernetes Monitoring: Deploying OpenTelemetry and Elastic to monitor containerized clusters
-
APM & Tracing: Using the APM interface to visualize traces and pinpoint the source of service failures
-
AI-Driven Logging: Leveraging AI to parse raw logs and proactively identify significant anomalies
-
Workflow Automation: Building automated triggers to triage alerts and route critical data to the correct teams
Register now to hold your spot and gain the hands-on experience to apply to your everyday workflows.
Join Major General Ed Wilson and Elastic’s Public Sector National Security Leader Sean MacKirdy for an executive fireside on modernizing Defensive Cyber Operations at scale with an Agentic approach to Security Operations. Learn how to drive greater unity across the cyber toolset, create a unified operational picture across IT and OT and support continuous mission assurance across hybrid and disconnected environments. Walk away with practical strategies to strengthen cyber defense and operate at mission speed through the deployment of an Agentic SOC.
- Search AI-Driven Ops: Reduce MTTR for critical citizen-facing applications using native Generative AI
- Standardized Security: Align with EL3 maturity and cybersecurity mandates without proprietary lock-in
