Distributed Tracing Integration with OpenTelemetry and Knative
Thu, 25 April
As application platforms scale, the challenge of collecting telemetry data across multiple clouds and clusters becomes increasingly complex. Traditional methods of observing metrics with third-party application performance monitoring tools are no longer sufficient. Today's infrastructures range from Linux containers and IoT edge devices to public clouds and Kubernetes, presenting new challenges for both development and operations teams in tracing application chains.
This session focuses on how to integrate distributed tracing effectively using OpenTelemetry for serverless functions. OpenTelemetry is a comprehensive tool that allows the collection and analysis of telemetry data, including metrics, logs, and traces. This is essential for understanding the performance and behavior of applications in a distributed environment.
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how to implement distributed tracing effectively using OpenTelemetry in conjunction with Knative. The session will provide insights into how these technologies can be utilized to overcome the challenges of tracing in modern, distributed environments.
Designed for site reliability engineers, developers, and IT professionals, this session offers a deep dive into leveraging advanced tracing techniques in modern, distributed cloud-native systems.
