OpenTelemetry vs eBPF - Comparing Observability Approaches

CNCF [Cloud Native Computing Foundation] via YouTube

Overview

Explore the strengths and weaknesses of OpenTelemetry and eBPF in this informative conference talk. Delve into the rapidly changing landscape of observability as Omid Azizi from New Relic (Pixie) compares these two technologies. Learn how OpenTelemetry provides tools for deep application visibility through instrumentation, while eBPF powers instrumentation-less observability in projects like CNCF Pixie and Hubble. Discover how eBPF observability tools can export to OpenTelemetry collectors as automatic data sources. Examine the intricacies of request tracing in both approaches, understanding where eBPF can reduce manual instrumentation and where OpenTelemetry still excels in distributed tracing. Gain insights into the future of these technologies and their potential developments in the observability space.
