In this session, we will start with an introduction to the Jaeger distributed tracing project and the basics of distributed tracing. For the deeper dive, we will discuss the future of Jaeger and its relation to OpenTelemetry. We will cover how OpenTelemetry and Jaeger work together to unlock new use cases for operational monitoring using the new monitoring tab, which adds metrics capabilities to Jaeger UI. We will also take a closer look at the Jaeger Kubernetes operator and discuss deployment strategies. Jaeger is the most popular open-source distributed tracing backend. We are always seeking new collaborators, contributors, and users. We need your help! Whether your goal is to get acquainted with Jaeger and distributed tracing or to keep abreast with the latest and greatest, please join us!Click here to view captioning/translation in the MeetingPlay platform!
