E-Books →Practical OpenTelemetry Adopting Open Observability Standards Across Your Organization

Adopting observability best practices across an organization is challenging. This book begins with a discussion of how operational monitoring processes widely followed for decades fall short at providing the insights needed for debugging cloud-native, distributed systems in production. The book goes on to show how the Cloud Native Computing Foundation's OpenTelemetry project helps you standardize instrumentation and transport of telemetry signals, providing a common language for all observability tooling.
