In this episode of The Stream Life Podcast, Nick Heudecker chats with Michael Hausenblas about the role of OpenTelemetry. OpenTelemetry is designed to be a vendor-neutral and language-agnostic platform, making it possible for developers to instrument their applications in any language and with any cloud provider or observability tool. OpenTelemetry allows enterprises to have a consistent and unified view of their telemetry data across their entire infrastructure, regardless of the technology tools they use. Michael is an experienced observability and cloud native professional with a strong background in data engineering. He is currently working at Amazon Web Services (AWS) and has previously held positions at Red Hat and various start-ups.
