Exploring ChatGPT for Improved Observability

In today’s fast-paced and complex technological landscape, observability has become a critical aspect of ensuring the reliability and performance of software systems.

However, traditional observability tools and techniques can only go so far in providing insights into the behavior of these systems. Enter ChatGPT, a conversational AI tool that can help bridge the gap between observability and human understanding.

In this session, we will explore ChatGPT and how it could theoretically be used to enhance an enterprise’s observability practices. We will briefly look at how ChatGPT can be trained to understand and interpret system logs, metrics, and other observability data, and explore whether it can provide useful real-time insights and recommendations to engineers and operators.

By attending this session, you will gain a deeper understanding of how conversational AI can be leveraged to improve observability in software systems, and how ChatGPT help you avoid potential issues before they become critical problems.

Empowering developer teams to manage their own Azure RBAC permissions in highly regulated industries

Many highly regulated enterprises are looking to leverage the public cloud for the many benefits that it provides. Some examples are to increase agility of their developer teams, improved compliance, and security & reduce costs.

Unfortunately, what usually happens is that their developer teams end up with partial autonomy, for example the teams can deploy their Azure resources but are not able to authorize their own Managed Identities or Service Principals to access these Azure resources.

This session looks at how we can address these challenges leveraging existing Azure governance features like Azure Policy and Management groups.
