 Welcome, welcome, welcome to yet another unfortunately virtual edition of Procom. Hopefully maybe next year will be different. So there is a little bit of housekeeping, but there's a lot of mental keeping. Not to start on a bad note. Actually I want to end the initial intro on an uplifting note, yet I do think that we need to acknowledge that the last few months were complete and other whole shit and it's just not good. If you're one of the few who are vaccinated, you're highly privileged. Myself, I don't even know when I get the shot, but even that means I'm privileged because I live in Germany and I'm pretty much before most others. The COVID scheme will run into 2023. That's the current planning. So just to give you a rough indication of how long others will get to wait for something where they have no chance of bypassing. It's horrible. Which means please reach out to your friends, family, coworkers, especially if they're in regions which are not yet vaccinated, especially if they're in hearted regions like India or Brazil or so. Because it's super easy to forget in the daily life once your own life starts reopening that others are way worse off. And even if they're vaccinated, even if they're in the country which already has all the vaccines and everything, it's still quite likely that they took a hit from this time. So yes, please reach out to them. Switching to things which feel somewhat mundane. We do have a code of conduct. We follow this and we follow it quite seriously and aggressively. Also, if you... Well, it's not so much a concern here, but if your question becomes more of a statement, it will be shut down. In case anything goes bad on this platform, there is a document which will be used as a kind of watering hole in case anything breaks. So I also tweeted this a few minutes ago. So you have that link. We'll also share it in chat and such. So it's just making its rounds. Yeah, and that's more or less it. So let's walk through what we'll have today. Okay. I can actually reshare. Or maybe I can't. Genius. So right after this initial session, we will have someone who will talk about, it's me, I'll talk about how to make Prometheus as a wider ecosystem more open. There is several bits and pieces which should be super interesting. There's also a pretty big press announcement today. So yeah, stay tuned for that. Julius will be talking about kind of compatibility testing. Because as more and more people or vendors and projects get into the Prometheus ecosystem, it becomes more and more important that we as the upstream project actually ascertain that users get the same experience and features and everything throughout the complete ecosystem. Peter will be talking how we, how we run on apps. That's different. We migrated Cortex to the, to basically what is the Thanos storage backend, which was a huge undertaking on our end. And it was quite good and kudos to the Thanos people. Then we have Bartek and Anes, who will be talking about automating and how all of this can be done with Prometheus in the background. Then we have something new, which is a sponsored keynote that will be led by Reddit, but we looked at the topic. So this isn't, this, this will not be a pitch. It's just a technical session, which is coming through, through this mechanism. Then observability for air conditioners as someone who is, who built a data center right before doing this. Sorry, I just got poked in the background. So that's a different, that's a different aspect of, of how to do, of how to do HVAC and, and also control systems through, through the Prometheus ecosystem, but also super interesting one. Then we have Tom, who will also be talking about all the compatibility and conform the compliance things. This time from the Prometheus remote right angle where we recently published a specification. So we now have a real hard stable version of Prometheus remote right, not this experimental for years, which will also A, allows this conformance testing and B, it will allow us to, to actually start iterating on top of what we currently have. Of course, we're nailing down what we have without taking the experimental guarantees away. Then we have Matthias, who will be talking about conproof and how to leverage Prometheus or the Prometheus TSTB for conproof. In case you don't know, that's continuous profiling. That is another super interesting topic. Then we have Björn, who will be talking about new histograms. As most of you will know, we have hard boundaries or buckets for, for histograms. They're relatively low resolution, which has super nice properties in widely distributed fields. But it's also not super nice if you want to drill down into a specific sub-sample or into a specific tiny bucket or tiny for some value of. But Björn will be talking about all of this. There's also super interesting design document out. I hope you'll link to it else. We can do it in the chat. Then we have who I didn't, I didn't, I didn't practice that name, Shreyas, I hope, and Gibbs, who will be talking about how to use AIML to actually predict what would be good recording rules for your Prometheus system. Then at the end, we have David talking about how to do metamonetering, which is who guards the guardians. Another super interesting thing. Then we have another sponsored keynote. But again, it will not be a stupid sales pitch. Expect technical content. And then we have the great tradition of lightning talks. Let me check. Yeah, I can, I mean, you can read it yourself. You probably already read it yourself. We crammed as many, as many lightning talks into the thing as we could, as per usual. Unfortunately, this time is not with writing in, but that will soon resume. Then you'll see this sack of potatoes again. And at the end, we have a birds of a feather session where we can just have an open discussion about everything Prometheus and non Prometheus, and in particular, how if you have a not exactly greenfield deployment and you have lots of old stuff as well, how to integrate all of this and how to take the pain of not having Prometheus in all the places away. And I mean, honestly, in any non tiny company, you always have at least two systems for, for most things. And so this is just reality. So one minute 32 to early, I think I'll just head over back to the, to the waiting room, unless I get any last minute pointers. I see typing. Oh, you need to register for, for the buff. Okay. That's a good point. I don't know if that's actually possible, but we like, I don't know if it's possible yet or at the moment. We can also figure this out through chat while, while we have this session. So yeah, 40 seconds to go. So I'll just stop babbling and see you in a few. Thank you.
