Summary

GrafanaCONline Day 5 featured two key presentations, one by Ed Welch and another by Jonan Scheffler, highlighting innovative uses of Grafana and Kubernetes. Ed Welch, a Senior Software Engineer at Grafana Labs, showcased how he maximizes the range of his electric Nissan Leaf by analyzing driving behavior through data collected via Grafana, Cortex, and Loki on a Raspberry Pi. He processes over 1,000 messages per second from the vehicle CAN bus, GPS data, and camera images to receive real-time feedback and perform further analysis, with plans to adapt this method for non-electric vehicles. Jonan Scheffler, a developer advocate, demonstrated the process of creating a desktop Kubernetes cluster using Raspberry Pis, explaining the roles of containers, pods, and nodes, and providing practical advice for using k3sup to bootstrap Kubernetes. The event also included other sessions on topics like Tanka and particulate-matter readings, with opportunities for attendees to engage with the Grafana community via Slack.
