With just one week to go until KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025, it's time to finalize your schedule, double-check your travel plans, and if you're heading to London, invest in a solid umbrella. The forecast? A high chance of groundbreaking observability insights… and, well, rain.

To save you from last-minute FOMO while you're rushing to catch your flight (or hunting down a decent cup of tea at Heathrow), we’ve rounded up the must-see observability talks. Whether you're deep into OpenTelemetry, fascinated by eBPF, or just here to figure out how to cut those sky-high log storage costs, this list will help you plan your week like a pro.

So grab your raincoat, bookmark these sessions, and get ready for a deep dive into the future of observability at KubeCon 2025! ☔🚀

🔥 Must-Attend Observability Talks

🚀 How To Supercharge AI/ML Observability With OpenTelemetry and Fluent Bit – Celalettin Calis, Chronosphere
AI models are cool until they start hallucinating in production. Learn how to log, trace, and monitor LLMs with OpenTelemetry and Fluent Bit to keep them on track.

💾 The Future of Data on Kubernetes – Rob Strechay (SiliconANGLE), Nimisha Mehta (Confluent), Gabriele Bartolini (EDB), Brian Kaufman (Google)
Kubernetes isn't just for stateless apps anymore. This panel explores how Kubernetes is powering modern data infrastructure and AI workloads.

📈 Taming 50 Billion Time Series: Scaling Prometheus on Kubernetes – Orcun Berkem & Alan Protasio, AWS
Ever tried running Prometheus at "50 billion active time series" scale? AWS engineers share how they make it work without everything catching fire.

🔄 The State of Prometheus and OpenTelemetry Interoperability – Arthur Sens (Grafana) & Juraj Michálek (Swiss RE)
