Implementing Distributed Tracing with OpenTelemetry
Deploy OpenTelemetry Collector and implement distributed tracing for microservices observability.
Lab Overview
This hands-on lab teaches you to implement distributed tracing using OpenTelemetry in your Kubernetes platform.
You'll learn to:
- Deploy the OpenTelemetry Collector using Helm
- Configure trace collection pipelines and exporters
- Instrument applications for automatic trace generation
- Deploy Jaeger as a tracing backend
- Analyze distributed traces to understand service dependencies
Distributed tracing is essential for platform engineering teams to understand request flow and diagnose latency issues in microservices architectures.
