KubeCon India was an unforgettable event! It showcased the remarkable growth and excitement surrounding cloud-native technologies in India. The energy, passion, and sheer scale of the event made it clear that India is emerging as a tech powerhouse, with an increasingly engaged and knowledgeable community of Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) and DevOps professionals. As we reflect on our experience, we want to share a few highlights—what made this event so memorable and why Kloudfuse was a crowd favorite.

Highlights from some of the keynotes and sessions

At KubeCon India 2024, the conference spotlighted the evolution of Cloud Native technologies, with a significant focus on observability and its role in modern application architectures. Keynotes and sessions covered the growing importance of observability tools like OpenTelemetry, which is expanding beyond the traditional pillars of logs, metrics, traces.

Session Highlights:

• End-User Evolution & Cloud-Native Adoption in India: A keynote featuring industry leaders discussed the growing adoption of Kubernetes in India and how Indian end-users are approaching security, sustainability, and compliance in their cloud-native journeys.

• Building Resilient, Observable Platforms: Broadcom’s session focused on the challenges enterprises face when scaling to multi-cloud and edge environments, and the lessons learned in creating resilient, observable platforms.

• LLM Ops with Kubeflow: A session by Nutanix and Meta showcased how organizations are managing their LLM (Large Language Model) operations using Kubeflow—offering a comprehensive solution for infrastructure visibility and resource optimization as well as tools for training, fine-tuning, and deploying large language models at scale.

Kloudfuse: The “UPI” of Observability

If you’re familiar with India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI), you know how transformative it has been in simplifying payments. We believe that Kloudfuse has a similar transformative potential for observability. We’ve created a unified experience for organizations to monitor, analyze, and act on data from all their cloud-native environments. Just like UPI revolutionized payments, we believe Kloudfuse is on the cusp of something equally transformative for observability.

The Crowd at KubeCon India

At this inaugural event, we had the honor of sponsoring KubeCon India. It was incredible to see the event attract such a large and enthusiastic crowd. The response to our booth was overwhelming. From developers to CTOs, everyone seemed eager to understand how Kloudfuse could solve their observability and cloud-native challenges. Our booth was one of the busiest at the event—no small feat in such a massive conference.

What Made Kloudfuse Stand Out?

So, what was it about Kloudfuse that had people flocking to our booth? Here are a few reasons why we think Kloudfuse really resonated with the crowd:

• Private Deployment: With security, privacy, and data sovereignty top of mind, many organizations were drawn to our private deployment model.

• Cost Savings: Let’s face it—everyone’s trying to do more with less. The cost-effectiveness of Kloudfuse was a big draw.

• Unification: Observability tools often operate in silos. Kloudfuse’s unified platform, which integrates metrics, logs, traces, real user monitoring, continuous profiling, and much more, was a big hit as it makes life easier for DevOps and SRE teams.

• Shift to OpenTelemetry: OpenTelemetry is the future of observability, and we saw significant interest in this area. Our platform offers a complete coverage of OpenTelemetry, which was a huge selling point for many attendees.

• Preserving Existing Investments: This was a major highlight for many, especially those who had already made significant investments in observability tools. The fact that Kloudfuse makes it easy to migrate existing dashboards, alerts, and agents, and also embeds Grafana dashboards, was a big win.

• Special Interest from Health Tech, Fintech, and Government: These industries need secure, scalable, and reliable observability platforms. Kloudfuse was a natural fit for their requirements.

A Jam-Packed Schedule

The demand for demos was so high that we had to switch our scheduled demos to accommodate the crowd! We ended up delivering some of the best demos at the show, and this pleasantly surprised us. It was exciting to see how quickly people grasped the value of our solution. Our booth was one of the busiest at the event, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

We also had the pleasure of hosting a book signing with Shweta Vohra, a thought leader in the cloud-native space. The turnout was fantastic, and it was a great way to engage with the community.

New Customer Testimonials: Real Impact, Real Results

One of the greatest highlights of KubeCon was hearing directly from our customers.

New Features and Innovations That Stole the Show

At KubeCon, we were able to showcase some new features that caught the attention of many attendees:

• Real User Monitoring (RUM): This feature allows organizations to monitor the real user experience in real time, helping teams pinpoint performance issues that impact their customers.

• K-Lens: K-Lens is our new observability tool for outlier detection, designed to analyze thousands of attributes within high-dimensional data. It offers heatmaps and multi-attribute charts that quickly pinpoint the sources of specific issues.

Along with these new additions, we demoed our AI-driven capabilities, such as:

• AI-Powered Anomaly Detection and Forecasting: We have embedded a number of algorithms in our platform to automatically detect unusual patterns in observability data , allowing teams to proactively address issues before they escalate.

• Advanced Service Monitoring: This feature automatically discovers services and uses RED  metrics (Requests, Errors, Duration) to monitor them.

What’s Next? You Asked, We Answered: The Future of Kloudfuse

We received a lot of excitement and requests around the following areas:

• Observability of Large Language Model (LLM): GenAI applications are the future, and the demand for LLM observability is real.

• SEIM: Security continues to be top of mind, and we’ve received many requests to support Security Information and Event Management (SEIM).
