From YouTube: Continuous Observability: Shedding Light on CI/CD Pipelines

Description

DevOps is not just about operating the software in production, but also about releasing that software to production. Well-functioning CI/CD pipelines are critical for the business, and this calls for quality observability, to handle broken and flaky pipeline runs effectively.

On this episode I hosted Oleg Nenashev, a core maintainer and board member in the Jenkins project, as well as a TOC member in the Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF). Oleg is a community builder, open source advocate and consultant, now at WireMock Inc. He is also a CDF and CNCF ambassador.

We discussed CI/CD, observability, the prominent open source projects and foundations, as well as a new proposal for extending OpenTelemetry to natively support CI/CD observability use cases.

The podcast episodes are available for listening on your favorite podcast app and on this YouTube channel.

We live-stream the episodes, and you’re welcome to join the stream here on YouTube Live or at https://www.twitch.tv/openobservability​.
