A Hands-On Guide to OpenTelemetry: Linking Metrics to Traces With Exemplars, Part 2

Are you ready to start your journey on the road to collecting telemetry data from your applications? Great observability begins with great instrumentation!  In this series, you'll explore how to adopt OpenTelemetry (OTel) and how to instrument an application to collect tracing telemetry. You'll learn how to leverage out-of-the-box automatic instrumentation tools and understand when it's necessary to explore more advanced manual instrumentation for your applications. By the end of this series, you'll have an understanding of how telemetry travels from your applications to the OpenTelemetry Collector, and be ready to bring OpenTelemetry to your future projects. Everything discussed here is supported by a hands-on, self-paced workshop authored by Paige Cruz.
