KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 · Session
In this insightful KubeCon EU session, Celalettin Calis, a Senior Software Engineer at Chronosphere, presented a compelling case for enhancing AI/ML observability within Kubernetes environments. The talk, titled "How To Supercharge AI/ML Observability With OpenTelemetry and Fluent Bit," addressed the unique and complex challenges of monitoring modern intelligent systems, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), which often exhibit "invisible intelligence." Calis demonstrated how a powerful combination of **OpenTelemetry** for standardized telemetry collection and **Fluent Bit** for efficient data processing and routing can bridge critical observability gaps.
