Instead of running multiple uncoordinated pipelines, Open Telemetry provides users with a single integrated stream of data, providing multiple sources of high-quality telemetry data: tracing, metrics, logs, RUM, e BPF, and more. This practical guide shows you how to set up, operate, and troubleshoot the Open Telemetry observability system.Authors Austin Parker, head of developer relations at Lightstep and Open Telemetry Community Maintainer, and Ted Young, cofounder of the Open Telemetry project, cover every Open Telemetry component, as well as observability best practices for many popular cloud, platform, and data services such as Kubernetes and AWS Lambda. You’ll learn how Open Telemetry enables OSS libraries and services to provide their own native instrumentationa first in the industry.Ideal for application developers, OSS maintainers, operators and infrastructure teams, and managers and team leaders, this book guides you through:The principles of modern observability All Open Telemetry componentsand how they fit together A practical approach to instrumenting platforms and applications Methods for installing, operating, and troubleshooting an Open Telemetry-based observability solution Ways to roll out and maintain end-to-end observability across a large organization How to write and maintain consistent, high-quality instrumentation without a lot of work
