What you'll learn
Lessons from real Kubernetes production incidents and how they were investigated
Why root cause analysis often starts beyond the first alert or signal
How experienced SREs connect logs, metrics, traces, Kubernetes events, and operational context
Practical approaches to improving alerts, runbooks, and incident response
Best practices for reducing Kubernetes troubleshooting time and improving reliability
Strategies for moving from alert to root cause faster
Kubernetes environments generate more telemetry than ever, yet finding root cause still takes time.
In this panel discussion, experts from Mastercard, Writer, and OpenObserve share real production incidents, including ImagePullBackOff, P99 latency, and CPU throttling, to illustrate how experienced SREs investigate problems across applications, infrastructure, and Kubernetes. Along the way, they discuss practical approaches to root cause analysis, incident response, alert design, and reducing time from alert to resolution.
