OpenTracing and Containers: Depth, Breadth, and the Future of Tracing

on YouTube ↗33m

" summary

OpenTracing provides a vendor-neutral API that decouples instrumentation from backend analysis and demonstrates working integrations with Zipkin and LightStep; a live DonutSalon demo shows the fryer consuming ~60–69% of request time and baggage tags identifying “cinnamon” as the culprit so a lock is found. It argues Kubernetes plus an L7 proxy (Envoy/linkerd) can give zero-touch, black-box spans by extract/inject context propagation, and the demo traces validate that approach end-to-end.
