It's getting a bit chilly here in the northern hemisphere, but there are a few spicy new developments on Grafana Cloud k6 to warm us up. There are some features we've added to get closer to feature parity with our legacy platform, k6 Cloud. You can now schedule tests on Grafana Cloud, where you can set tests to run at regular intervals (such as once a day) or at fixed times (such as at 4pm tomorrow). You can also view usage reports to see how much testing your team is doing and also customize and export PDFs-- perfect for your test reports. - schedule tests (regular intervals and fixed time) - view usage reports - customize and export PDFs But the REAL exciting thing is that we're finally getting to the point where we're releasing new feature to Grafana Cloud k6 that weren't in k6 Cloud. Recently we've added two new such features. - The first is that browser testing is now in public preview! That means you can now run browser tests using the k6 browser module on Grafana Cloud. You just have to import the k6 browser module within your script, and you'll see web metrics along with your protocol ones! Check out the documentation here (https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/k6/get-started/run-your-first-browser-tests/) for more details on how to do that. We definitely have things in the pipeline to iterate on the results you see for browser tests in particular... stay tuned for that. - The second is that distributed tracing is now available to everyone on Grafana Cloud! You'll still need your application instrumented, but once you have that, you can specify the format you're using in your k6 script, run it, and you'll see Traces as another tab on Grafana Cloud! I did a Grafana Office Hours with Łukasz Gut where we go more in detail about that - check out this link here. (https://youtube.com/live/petbezEmIw4) You still need a Grafana Cloud account to try out these features, but it doesn't have to be a paid one - you can test these out for free! So even if the weather in the next few days is a little... cloudy... you can grab a hot mug of cocoa and test your heart away. Back to you Leandro! ## Checklist - [ ] Contact the guest and tell them about Office Hours. > At Grafana Labs, we do a weekly livestream called Grafana Office Hours, where we have guests on to talk about how to use Grafana, observability, or visualization. I saw your [blog post/video/post] on [source] and I think it would be great to have you on the show to share your experience about [topic]. Office Hours is an hour-long live conversation that is streamed to the [Grafana YouTube channel](https://youtube.com/@grafana). It's very casual, and you can also share your screen if you'd like to do a demo (not required). If you'd like to join, I'd love to have you! - [ ] If the guest agrees, choose a date for the Office Hours session. Ask them for a photo you can use for promotion, or ask for permission to use their profile pic on social media. - [ ] Invite them to the Grafana Office Hours calendar invite (choose "this instance only", not the whole series). Change the invite to include the episode number and their name, ie `Grafana Office Hours 01 with Mitch`. This is to save the date. - [ ] Create a thumbnail. - [ ] Schedule the broadcast on Streamyard, and select the Grafana YouTube channel as the destination. - [ ] In the title, include the instance of Office Hours, i.e. `What's new in Grafana 10? (Grafana Office Hours #01)`. - [ ] Add the standard description as per previous Grafana Office Hours shows. Check the video description and add guests' contact details. - [ ] Get the Streamyard invite link and put it in the "location" of the calendar invite to the guest. - [ ] Get the YouTube link to the show. - [ ] Create an event and announce it on Meetup. - [ ] Schedule a tweet just when the show begins to say "We're live now!" - [ ] Schedule a Slack message on the internal Grafana workspace (in `#general`). - [ ] Schedule a Slack message on the public Grafana Slack workspace (in `#grafana`) - [ ] Add timestamps to the video (at least four). - [ ] Add any links shared to the description of the video. - [ ] Add the video to video playlists that make sense (at the very least, the "Grafana Office Hours" one.) ### Just before the show - Before the show - [ ] How do you pronounce your name? - [ ] Twitter handles - [ ] We will be using the talking points, but we don't have to be strict about it - [ ] Does anyone want to share their screen? We can do that now, and I can show you how that works - [ ] We'll be streaming to YouTube. - [ ] You'll be able to see comments, but if you have links, I have to paste it into the private chat - [ ] You can also use the private chat if you need to say something, but you can also just say it out loud - [ ] Afterwards, we'll say goodbye to the stream, but please stay on past that - [ ] Just in case I disconnect... stall for a minute and I'll be right back. ## Repurposing this content Consider reusing the content in other forms: - Blog post - Order the transcript from [Rev](https://rev.com) and post it on the blog, BUT with headings, subheadings, callouts, and summaries to make it more digestible.
