My name is Michael Hausenblas and I'm a Product Lead in the AWS open source observability service team. I want to help you implement Return on Investment Driven Observability using open standards and open source including but not limited to OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana.

In the context of our service team I'm working on Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, Amazon Managed Grafana, and the AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry. From 2018 to 2022 I served as a Cloud Native Ambassador at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).

For AWS-related inquires please use hausenbl@amazon.com and mhausenblas@icloud.com for everything else. Also, I'm usually hanging out on CNCF Slack and my Twitter DMs are open (IOW you don't need to follow me to message me there).

If you want to stay up to date on developments in the observability space, subscribe to o11y.news, my weekly ad-free and non-tracking newsletter:
