Cortex: Multi-tenant Scalable Prometheus - Bryan Boreham, Weaveworks & Jacob Tlisi, Grafana Labs

Cortex is a time-series data store based on Prometheus.
Cortex adds:
 - Scalability: run across dozens of servers to handle millions of samples per second.
 - Availability: if one server fails then work will be redirected to others.
 - Multi-tenancy: store data from different groups or customers, segregated so a user from one tenant cannot see data from another.
 - Durability: use cloud stores (such as S3) to reduce the chance of data loss.

This session will provide an overview of Cortex, an update on recent news from the project, and a deeper look at the recently added administrator feature to query across multiple tenants.
