OpenTelemetry is an open source observability framework created when the Cloud Native Computing Foundation merged the OpenTracing and OpenCensus projects.[1] OpenTracing offers "consistent, expressive, vendor-neutral APIs for popular platforms"[2] while the Google-created OpenCensus project acts as a "collection of language-specific libraries for instrumenting an application, collecting stats (metrics), and exporting data to a supported backend."[3] Under OpenTelemetry, the projects create a "complete telemetry system [that is] suitable for monitoring microservices and other types of modern, distributed systems — and [is] compatible with most major OSS and commercial backends."[4] It is the "second most active" CNCF project.[5] In October 2020, AWS announced the public preview of its distro for OpenTelemetry.[6]
