OpenTelemetry Gets Better Metrics

OpenTelemetry is defined by its creators as a collection of APIs used to instrument, generate, collect and export telemetry data for observability. This data is in the form of metrics, logs and traces and has emerged as a popular CNCF project. For this interview, we're delving deeper into OpenTelemetry and its metrics support which has just become generally available. The specifications provided for the metrics protocol are designed to connect metrics to other signals and to provide a path to OpenCensus, which enables customers to migrate to OpenTelemetry and to work with existing metrics-instrumentation protocols and standards, including, of course, Prometheus. In this episode of The New Stack Makers podcast , recorded on the show floor of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2022 in Valencia, Spain , Morgan McLean , director of product management, Splunk , Ted Young , director of developer education, LightStep and Daniel Dyla , senior open source architect, Dynatrace discussed how OpenTelemetry is evolving and the magic of observability in general for DevOps.
