What’s New in OpenTelemetry

OpenTelemetry is the most active CNCF project after Kubernetes. The project is progressing at an immense pace on many fronts. The core project is expanding beyond the “three pillars” into new signals, such as continuous profiling, and beyond backend into client side telemetry and real user monitoring, as well as work on eBPF more. It can be difficult to keep track of all these updates.

If you liked Horovits’s KubeCon talk last year on OpenTelemetry, you won’t want to miss this sequel. In this talk Horovits will go over some of the notable project updates you should keep an eye on, to help navigate the many updates. He will also provide useful guidance on how to get started with OpenTelemetry in a pragmatic fashion according to your organization’s needs.
