In a nutshell
After delving into the definition of observability and associated tooling during the previous Alenia Production Tour, this year we will address the challenges and opportunities organizations encounter when striving to effectively integrate observability into their processes and organizational culture.

Observability extends beyond the adoption of technical tools; it encompasses organizational, cultural, and governance aspects as well.

We are here to discuss essential questions such as: How can you instill a culture of observability within your company? How can you align the needs of users with those of development and operations teams? Are new roles and positions necessary? What are the challenges related to managing the vast volumes of data generated by observable systems?

We hope this discussion will inspire practical ideas and strategies that you can apply within your own organizational context.

What we'll discuss
To explore the various facets of observability implementation that can prove complex and transformative for our practices, we will address the following questions:
  • Is observability limited to technology, or does it impact our entire organization?
  • Are we witnessing the emergence of new roles led by teams with specialized expertise?
  • SRE teams are often mentioned; what are the differences and interactions between those responsible for observability and those overseeing SRE practices?
  • How do we measure the maturity of observability practices?
  • How should we scale observability (technology, practices, data, ...)?
Our experts will allow us to explore different perspectives: that of a tool provider and a user of monitoring and observability solution, as well as that of an observability specialist in both Cloud and non-Cloud environments, whether you are building from scratch or dealing with substantial existing infrastructure. This diversity should help you envision your own use cases, and we hope it will invigorate our discussions during this session.
