Jaeger: The Future with OpenTelemetry and Metrics

Explore the future of distributed tracing with Jaeger and OpenTelemetry in this 35-minute conference talk from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe. Gain insights into Jaeger's transition from native clients to OpenTelemetry, and learn how to auto-instrument applications using OpenTelemetry clients. Discover best practices for building scalable trace pipelines and understand Jaeger's evolution into a comprehensive monitoring system. Delve into the new monitoring tab, which integrates Prometheus metrics capabilities into the Jaeger UI. Learn about the creation of metrics derived from traces in the pipeline, enabling operational monitoring. Join Jonah Kowall from Logz.io and Joe Elliott from Grafana Labs as they discuss these advancements and invite collaboration from the community to shape the future of distributed tracing and monitoring in cloud-native environments.
