Sponsored Keynote: The Future of Observability in K8s - Nik Jain & Steve Ng, New Relic
summary
New Relic outlines concrete observability plumbing for Kubernetes: use OpenTelemetry + Prometheus for metrics and traces, support both agentless and agent-based collection, and correlate traces with Kubernetes metadata (pod, node, cluster) to find root cause. Demonstrations show KSM/Prometheus for infra, Jaeger/Zipkin interop via trace proxies, and an open-source Compute optimise nerdpack that surfaces optimization candidates by k8s and cloud annotations, yielding reported six- to seven-figure savings and enabling trace-to-Kubernetes metadata correlation for faster debugging.
