5 reasons why OpenTelemetry is Changing the Landscape of Observability

Distributed services for cloud-native applications are getting more complex and challenging to manage. In addition, the rapidly evolving landscape of generative AI (Gen AI) models, which are often opaque and complicate application and optimization monitoring, also hinders developers' ability to gain clear insights and address performance issues promptly.

OpenTelemetry (OTel) is an open standard that was created by Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) to standardize the way to send, collect and transfer telemetry data to backend observability platforms. OTel includes an open-source observability framework that is made up with a collection of tools, APIs, and SDKs. With its powerful capabilities for monitoring and analyzing hybrid and cloud-native applications, OTel can help you gain a clearer picture of your system's performance and behavior.

This webinar helps you learn about five reasons why OpenTelemetry is changing the landscape of observability. You’ll also get to see the benefits of OTel as shared through a client story, and you’ll get to see how IBM Instana, a leading Observability solution, integrates seamlessly with OTel for complete real-time observability.
