🍎 Heading to the Big Apple this June? Join us on June 10 at KCD New York for two insightful sessions featuring our Developer Experience Engineer, @dianavTodea, alongside industry experts. 🎙️ Session 1: Observing #Kubernetes Policies with Kyverno and #VictoriaMetrics With @TechTalkingMom This talk presents a simple, technical workflow for observing Kubernetes policy behavior using Kyverno and VictoriaMetrics. Starting from a single validation policy, we show how policy evaluations and enforcement results are exposed as metrics, ingested into VictoriaMetrics and queried through a standard #Prometheus-compatible API. A minimal dashboard is then used to inspect policy failures, affected namespaces, and policy execution duration. 📍 The East Hub 🕣 02:35 PM 🎙️ Session 2: “Telemetry That Matters.” With Josh Lee and @krol_valencia This panel explores how meaningful telemetry improves engineering workflows, the impact of zero-code instrumentation, and why filtering and shaping telemetry data matters for reliability and developer experience. Expect practical insights into reducing noise and making #observability data truly useful. 📍 The East Hub 🕙 04:20 PM If you’re attending, don’t miss these sessions! 👉 Full schedule: hubs.li/Q04fKwN60 #KCDNewYork #CloudNative #SRE

The best way to start your day is with a group breakfast. CNCF Ambassadors and Kubestronauts gather at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon for a morning of collaboration. These community leaders are known for their dedication to mentoring practitioners and advocating for open source projects, and are a wealth of knowledge for all things cloud native.
