    OpenTelemetry Blueprints Unveiled: Practical OTel Deployments for Kubernetes & Platform Engineering - OpenObservability Talks S6E12

    OpenTelemetry (OTel) is now the industry standard for observability — but deploying it successfully at scale is still a major challenge. In this episode of OpenObservability Talks, we dive into the newly launched OpenTelemetry Blueprints initiative: a set of practical reference architectures designed to help Platform Engineering and SRE teams cut through the complexity. We explore the first official blueprints for Kubernetes and traditional infrastructure environments, covering: ✅ How to standardize OTel Collector deployments ✅ Best practices for instrumentation at scale ✅ Building self-service observability platforms ✅ What these blueprints mean for Platform Engineering and SRE teams Whether you're just starting your OpenTelemetry journey or trying to scale it across a large organization, this episode gives you a concrete, actionable framework to move faster and with more confidence.

    OpenTelemetry Comes of Age: CNCF Graduation, Profiling and eBPF - OpenObservability Talks S6E11

    OpenTelemetry has officially reached CNCF graduation this month, marking a major milestone for one of the most widely adopted open observability projects. In this episode of OpenObservability Talks, we unpack what this graduation really means for the project and for users out there.  We also revisit the newest observability signal in OpenTelemetry, Continuous Profiling, which was released in public alpha. We explore where the effort currently stands, the adoption and usage best practices. Finally, we dive into the OpenTelemetry eBPF profiling agent and how it aims to dramatically simplify the adoption of continuous profiling for developers and platform teams. Our guest for this episode is Israel Ogbole, CEO & Co-founder of Zymtrace and member of the OTel Profiling SIG. Prior to founding zymtrace, he served as Principal Product Manager at Elastic, where he led Universal Profiling. He also led the donation of Elastic’s eBPF CPU profiler to OpenTelemetry. Israel also worked at Cisco AppDynamics and at Microsoft, with rich background in observability.  You can read the recap post: https://medium.com/p/c66dc2cd7d3c Show Notes: 00:00 - episode and guest intro 04:16 - OpenTelemetry reaches CNCF graduation 15:25 - Continuous profiling reaches public Alpha 34:19 - eBPF profiling agent  57:04 - outro Resources: OpenTelemetry reaches CNCF Graduation: https://opentelemetry.io/blog/2026/otel-graduates/  OpenTelemetry Profiles Enters Public Alpha: https://opentelemetry.io/blog/2026/profiles-alpha/  OTel adds the eBPF profiling agent donated by Elastic: https://opentelemetry.io/blog/2024/elastic-contributes-continuous-profiling-agent/ Unveiling OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation: https://medium.com/p/377cb0432bf1   Continuous Profiling: a new observability signal: https://medium.com/p/8afd5bafd498    OTel Profiling SIG established: https://medium.com/p/4a9b407e48cc  eBPF for no-code observability instrumentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYDBj5ctKaw&list=PLd57eY2edRXz4djMETYTm-2p8WGTdoX3D Socials: BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/openobservability.bsky.social X (Twitter): ⁠https://x.com/OpenObserv⁠ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/openobservability/ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@openobservabilitytalks⁠ Dotan Horovits ============ X (Twitter): @horovits LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/horovits Mastodon: @horovits@fosstodon BlueSky: @horovits.bsky.social Israel Ogbole =========== X (Twitter): https://x.com/israel_ogbole LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/israelo/ OpenObservability Talks episodes are released monthly, on the last Thursday of each month and are available for listening on your favorite podcast app and on YouTube.

    Operating OpenTelemetry at Scale with OpAMP - OpenObservability Talks S6E09

    As more organizations move to use OpenTelemetry in production at scale, with multiple Collectors across heterogeneous environments, a new challenge arises:  how to remotely manage, configure, and update this agent fleet in a consistent and secure way? This is where Open Agent Management Protocol (OpAMP) comes into the picture: it provides a standardized protocol that lets a central backend automatically configure agents, push updates, monitor their health, and collect status information.  In this episode Horovits hosts Andy Keller, OpAMP Maintainer and Principal Engineer at Bindplane, to discuss how OpAMP makes large-scale observability deployments much easier to operate and control. Andy shares the project status, including hot KubeCon update you don’t want to miss.

    OpenTelemetry for GenAI and the OpenLLMetry project - OpenObservability Talks S6E06

    Generative AI is everywhere, but how do we monitor and observe it? OpenTelemetry has been a prominent tool and standard for observability, and recently the OTel community has been aiming to expand its scope and cover GenAI workloads with semantic conventions and tools. In this episode, Horovits is joined by Nir Gazit, creator of the OpenLLMetry project, and member of the OpenTelemetry Generative AI SIG. We discuss new semantic conventions, tracing prompts and model behavior, the OpenLLMetry project’s journey, and what observability even means for modern AI systems. Nir Gazit is the CEO and co-founder of Traceloop, and brings a wealth of data and AI experience, with previous experience leading AI teams at Google and serving as the Chief Architect at Fiverr.
