Learn about OpenTelemetry and how it supports vendor neutrality for DevOps and SREs to monitor and observe microservices in the cloud. OpenTelemetry provides open-source standards and formats for collecting and exporting telemetry data from microservices for observability purposes. It prevents vendor lock-in by standardizing telemetry data collection and exportation, allowing developers to send data to any compatible observability backend of their choice. OpenTelemetry consists of an instrumentation library, OpenTelemetry Collector, and Exporters.
