Title: Data science for infrastructure using Pixie

Abstract: Pixie is a Kubernetes-native observability platform which helps developers explore, monitor, secure and manage their applications. Pixie is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation Sandbox Project. Pixie utilizes eBPF to automatically collect telemetry data which is stored on edge nodes. This data is usable in Pixie via a Pandas like interface allowing construction of complex data workflows, including machine learning. This talk will provide an overview of Pixie, some of the problems that we solved, and future work we are looking into.
Bio: Zain Asgar is a GM/GVP – Pixie & Open Source @ New Relic. Prior to this Zain was co-founder/CEO of Pixie Labs (acquired by New Relic). Zain is also an Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University and was an Entrepreneur in Residence at Benchmark before co-founding Pixie. He has a PhD from Stanford and has helped build at-scale data and AI/ML at Google AI, Trifacta and Nvidia.

See you all there!

Best,

Karan
