summary
Jaeger now ships a Kubernetes Jaeger operator that deploys all-in-one, production, or Kafka streaming topologies from a CRD, manages Elasticsearch or Cassandra storage (OpenSearch noted but not yet in operator), and auto-scales collectors and ingesters. Backend is moving to the OpenTelemetry collector as the ingestion layer. Sampling supports head‑ and planned remote sampling (example: default 1% switched to 50% on incidents), and a span processor emits aggregated trace metrics to Prometheus; it works but can produce high cardinality and needed tuning.
