8 year ago, we started to release Playstation products powered on top of Kubernetes. At the time, it was focused on accelerating our time to market. Little did we know that it would also provide the rallying flag for bringing together multiple parts of the organization to work in a consistent manner. With common features available to all application teams, they could focus on improving the game and game developer experience, instead of re-inventing toiling wheels.

As we look to the future, we're once again able to use the Kubernetes ecosystem as a rallying point. It's enabling us to expand our availability and capabilities into new hosting environments. We're moving up the value chain by replacing once novel but now bespoke components with modern and now commodity logic.

The Future of Prometheus Exposition Format - Arthur Sens, Grafana Labs

Tuesday June 17, 2025 15:50 - 16:20 JST

Level 1 | Pegasus A-B1

OpenMetrics (OM) had a wild journey: it started as a project to standardize the Prometheus exposition format, and it became an entirely separate CNCF Incubating project. Even though the project had high maturity, it struggled for years to find tools to comply with the first version of the spec. Finally, in 2025, it was incorporated back into the Prometheus Github organization so Prometheus developers could lead the efforts for OM 2.0.

In this talk, Arthur, a Prometheus maintainer and OpenMetrics contributor, will walk you through the main challenges that tools like Prometheus and OpenTelemetry face when trying to comply with OpenMetrics 1.0 and how the community plans to address these challenges in OM 2.0.

The audience will also learn how changing an exposition format can make Prometheus and OpenTelemetry-Collector more memory-efficient while making their specifications easier to translate into each other!

From Moon Prism Power To eBPF Super Saiyan: A Guide To Cloud Native Security & Observability - Carla Gaggini, Isovalent at Cisco & Kenta Tada, Toyota Motor Corporation

Tuesday June 17, 2025 16:30 - 17:00 JST

Level 1 | Pegasus A-B1

Join us on an anime-powered journey to explore the power of eBPF in cloud native. Inspired by Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball GT, this talk breaks down how eBPF enhances observability, networking, and security, using the Sailor Guardians and Gohan to make eBPF approachable. We’ll break down topics like real-time observability by comparing it to psychic flames.
And just as unchecked power in anime can lead to chaos, eBPF’s immense capabilities need to be used wisely. Drawing from Dragon Ball GT's arc where the Dragon Balls become a threat, we’ll examine best practices for safe deployment of eBPF (e.g., LSM, verifier constraints, Linux Capability restrictions). Spoiler alert: our Sailor Guardians and Gohan will come out victorious, worry not!

By the end, you’ll gain a clear understanding of how to wield eBPF safely and effectively in cloud native environments, no Super Saiyan transformation required!
