SUMMARY:Cloud Native PDX July: An API for Linux and Learning OTTL
DESCRIPTION:Cloud Native PDX July: An API for Linux and Learning OTTL\n\nThis July is all about infrastructure: Your systems infrastructure and your monitoring infrastructure.\n\nDate: Thursday\, July 16\, 2026\n\nTime: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM\n\nLocation: ProFocus Technology\, 10200 SW Eastridge St #100\, Portland\, OR 97225\n\nRecording: Talks are typically recorded (opt-in by speakers)\n\nA big thank you to New Relic for sponsoring food & beverage\, and to ProFocus\, our venue host.\n\nFirst Presentation: An API for Linux (Speaker: Justin Garrison\, Sidero Labs)\n\nWe treat infrastructure and application as code thanks to cloud providers and Kubernetes\, but we’re still SSHing to Linux machines and running shell scripts. What if Linux had an API? How would it change how we manage servers? What would it do\, and how would we secure it? Talos Linux has been building an API for Linux to create a new way to manage your operating system. Let’s see why an API is better than SSH and what parts don’t\n\nSecond Presentation: Devs\, Transform (Your Data) and Roll Out!: Learning and Leveraging OTTL (Speaker: Reese Lee\, New Relic)\n\nThe OpenTelemetry Collector is OTel’s power tool for ingesting and processing your app and infrastructure data\, but there’s even more you can do with your data before it reaches your backend! Learn how to start leveraging OTTL\, or OpenTelemetry Transformation Language\, to manage your data volume and quality. We’ll explore the syntax basics and its underlying architecture within the Collector\, where its strength really comes into play\, when to use it (or not!)\, and more.\nTags: cloud\, Cloud Native\, otel\, open telemetry\, linux\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482630
