Exact knowledge and right to the point. Now I can totally relate to things written in the boring documentation.

Great Content. This was really helpful in understanding OpenTelemetry Operator. One small cosmetic suggestion, kindly place the camera a bit more away from your face :)

Why there is a need of creating "kind: Instrumentation" pod?
OpenTelemetryCollector side-car pod should be able to collect and export data right? I tried removing "kind: Instrumentation" and it doesn't send traces, Don't understand why !

Hi, is it mandatory to set a collector with Opentemetry operator ? Is it possible to just add instrumentaion CRD, simply inject annotation on a pod and address a collector somewhere else (on another cluster for example) ?

[emmanuelnery]

Do you have any example using auto-instrumentation and sending to prometheus in k8s?
