Lightning Talk: Kick-Start Distributed Tracing in Istio with OpenTelemetry
summary
Istio plus OpenTelemetry is used to get practical end-to-end traces: auto-instrumentation with the otel Java agent deployed via an operator covered about 80+ services with minimal code changes, the mesh is configured with the Telemetry API and Zipkin/B3 propagation so mixed formats work, an otel collector receives spans, sampling is 100% for staging and 1% production sampling with plans for tail sampling, traces are stored in Grafana Tempo with ~14 day retention and Trace IDs are injected into logs to connect signals.
