Claude Code session traces can leave the tools they invoke disconnected from the agent’s trace. In this episode, I show how to propagate trace context with CLAUDE_CODE_PROPAGATE_TRACEPARENT and connect agent activity, Docker builds, and custom tools into one continuous trace. The walkthrough covers Claude Code configuration, OpenTelemetry settings for Docker BuildKit and Buildx, and instrumenting your own tools using context propagation through environment variables.

“AI SRE” is everywhere right now — but what does it actually mean to automate reliability, and how far can we really take it? In this talk from Cloud Native Karlsruhe, I break down the hype around AI SRE by comparing it to a discipline that has already gone through decades of automation: autonomous driving. Just like cars combine deterministic systems (anti-lock brakes, gearboxes) with AI-driven ones (adaptive cruise control, lane keeping), reliability engineering needs the same nuanced mix — not a single LLM doing everything. ...

I am not a native English speaker and that’s why I used AI to answer your questions. I keep seeing this, or a version of it, on issues and PRs. Reading it over and over again, especially when written by first-time contributors, infuriates me, it triggers an irrational anger in me!

While this is key information that belongs in this file, I was missing instructions on how to set up the repository, how to run tests, and what criteria I need to meet to increase my chances of having a PR accepted. ...
