Unveiling the Power of Observability using FLUENT BIT in AWS EKS environment

Abstract:

As cloud-native applications scale across Kubernetes clusters, gaining deep visibility into your workloads becomes both mission-critical and increasingly complex. In this session, we’ll unveil how to harness the true power of observability in your AWS EKS environment using Fluent Bit—the blazing-fast, lightweight log processor built for modern infrastructure. You'll learn how Fluent Bit can efficiently collect, parse, filter, and route logs from your containers—enriching them with Kubernetes metadata and streaming them to destinations like Amazon CloudWatch, OpenSearch, or any observability backend of your choice. We’ll break down real-world use cases, show best practices for deploying Fluent Bit as a DaemonSet in EKS, and demonstrate how to make sense of the endless flow of logs that Kubernetes generates. Whether you're a platform engineer looking to reduce costs and latency or a developer aiming to troubleshoot in real time, this talk will arm you with practical insights and battle-tested techniques to make observability a first-class citizen in your EKS architecture.
