OpenTelemetry and the Vision for Unified Open Observability - OpenObservability Talks S3E01
Listen now
Description
OpenTelemetry is one of the most fascinating and ambitious open source projects of this era. It’s currently the second most active project in the CNCF (the Cloud Native Computing Foundation), with only Kubernetes being more active. The entire industry is aligning behind this project, including incumbent monitoring vendors that were deeply vested in proprietary and closed-source agents to that end. In this episode of OpenObservability Talks I’ll host Alolita Sharma to discuss OpenTelemetry, its origins and mission statement, as well as updates hot off the press from the recent KubeCon conference in Valencia about releases and future plans. Alolita is co-chair of the CNCF Technical Advisory Group for Observability, member of the OpenTelemetry Governance Committee and a board director of the Unicode Consortium. She has served on the boards of the OSI and SFLC.in. Alolita has led engineering teams at Wikipedia, Twitter, PayPal, IBM and AWS. Two decades of doing open source continue to inspire her.
