OpenTelemetry Properly Explained and Demoed

https://opentelemetry.io/ project offers vendor-neutral integration points that help organizations obtain the raw materials — the “telemetry” — that fuel modern observability tools, and with minimal effort at integration time. But what does OpenTelemetry mean for those who use their favorite observability tools but don’t exactly understand how it can help them? How might OpenTelemetry be relevant to the folks who are new to Kubernetes (the majority of KubeCon attendees during the past years) and those who are just getting started with observability? https://thenewstack.simplecast.com/episodes/opentelemetry-properly-explained-and-demoed https://www.linkedin.com/in/austinlparker, head of developer relations, Lightstep and https://ca.linkedin.com/in/morganmclean, director of product management, Splunk, discuss during this podcast at https://events.linuxfoundation.org/gitopscon-north-america/ how the OpenTelemetry project has created demo services to help cloud native community members better understand cloud native development practices and test out OpenTelemetry, as well as Kubernetes, observability software, etc.

It is intended to both better understand cloud native development practices and to test out OpenTelemetry, as well as Kubernetes, observability software, etc., the project’s creators say.
