Tutorial: Exploring the Power of Metrics Collection with OpenTelemetry on Kubernetes - Pavol Loffay & Benedikt Bongartz, Red Hat; Anthony Mirabella, AWS; Matej Gera, Coralogix; Anusha Reddy Narapureddy, Apple

Deploying an observability system has many challenges, as several data types need to be collected. The data can be collected in many protocols and with different technology stacks. This session will cover end-to-end metrics collection on Kubernetes using the OpenTelemetry project. We will start from the ground up by instrumenting an application with OpenTelemetry APIs and agents and progressively solve more complicated use cases like a collection of resource attributes, collecting Prometheus metrics with the OpenTelemetry Collector and Operator, correlation with traces and logs, exemplars, and collecting Kubernetes infrastructure metrics.
