Stop Hunting Logs: How OpenTelemetry Brings Metrics, Logs, and Traces Together

OpenTelemetry is a Kubernetes tool that gives you vendor-neutral instrumentation libraries and a Collector that receives, processes, and exports telemetry at scale. It lets you jump from an alert to the exact failing trace in seconds, not hours. Every signal that passes through the Collector gets the same metadata (pod, namespace, team annotations), the same sampling decisions, and the same trace context.
