From Kernel To Cloud: Building a Complete Open Source Observability Pipeline - Anirudha Jadhav & Shenoy Pratik Gurudatt, Amazon Web Services 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.
