Operating OpenTelemetry at Scale with OpAMP

Описание: As more organizations move to use OpenTelemetry in production at scale, with multiple Collectors across heterogeneous environments, a new challenge arises: how to remotely manage, configure, and update this agent fleet in a consistent and secure way?

This is where Open Agent Management Protocol (OpAMP) comes into the picture: it provides a standardized protocol that lets a central backend automatically configure agents, push updates, monitor their health, and collect status information.

In this episode Horovits hosts Andy Keller, OpAMP Maintainer and Principal Engineer at Bindplane, to discuss how OpAMP makes large-scale observability deployments much easier to operate and control. Andy shares the project status, including hot KubeCon update you don’t want to miss.
