Managing modern Kubernetes environments requires you to act as soon as events take place. In this session, see how open source projects Drasi, Inspektor Gadget, and Headlamp simplify monitoring and management of Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters. Learn how to surface live state changes, deep runtime insights and leverage an intuitive management interface. Demonstrated on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and applicable to any Kubernetes setup, this session shows how to bring a universal, cloud-agnostic approach to your cluster monitoring and management.

Whether you use Ubuntu, RHEL, SLES, or Rocky, deploying Linux on Azure is more than provisioning VMs. Learn to build secure, performant Linux environments using Azure-native tools and partner integrations. See how to streamline image creation, harden workloads, monitor performance, and stay compliant with Azure Monitor, Defender for Linux, PostgreSQL on Azure, and the secure Linux baseline. Whether architect or OSS advocate, this session helps you confidently “train your penguin” for the cloud.
