OpenTelemetry is the second most popular project from the CNCF, after Kubernetes, but what is it?

In this talk, we'll cover where OpenTelemetry comes from, what problem it's solving, and then into the components that make up OpenTelemetry (from the protocol to the SDKs).

We'll walk through an example around how to implement it for the core signals (Logs, Metrics and Tracing), and show how propagation between services (both synchronous and Asynchronous works).

You'll come away from this talk knowing when it's useful to use OpenTelemetry, what words to use when you're talking about it, and also a picture of what value it adds.
