The Fundamentals of OpenTelemetry in Python | Live Workshop

Learn how to run OpenTelemetry in Python in your system and instrument your code.

The OpenTelemetry Fundamentals Workshop is a live workshop series where we take you through the fundamentals of #OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, and #observability - hands-on in #Python. Each workshop includes a Q&A session where we try to help you with your own unique use cases.

In this session you learn:
1. What is OpenTelemetry, and how do developers benefit from it (using real-world use cases).
2. Overview of the 3 pillars of observability (logs, metrics, and traces).
3. The OpenTelemetry stack: what are its components and how does it work.
4. Live coding: how to deploy OpenTelemetry yourself and set up open-source Jaeger.
5. How to instrument your distributed apps to capture traces with OTel in Python

it was pretty convoluted way to go over "fundamentals". 1 star

Great contents! I am not too clear on the context topic. If I'm not mistaken, Istio supports b3 context propagation; doesn't that allow e2e tracing based on the b3 traceid?

can i get the github link of those projects above?
