About this session
Step into the K8s Dungeon Crawl, where Grafana isn’t just for dashboards — it’s your portal to an epic adventure, tracking game and cluster metrics in real time!
In this lightning talk, Kim Schaefer will guide you through this game, a modified version of the classic open source dungeon crawler Brogue. In K8s Dungeon Crawl, in-game monsters are mirrored as Kubernetes deployments. With the power of CRDs, controllers, and webhooks, dungeon events dynamically influence your cluster, while real-time cluster modifications shape the game world.
But the real magic happens in Grafana — play the game directly from your dashboard, watching real-time observability bring both the game and the cluster to life with every action you take.
