OpenTelemetry – Unified Observability & Instrumentation – Online Course
 
OpenTelemetry: Unified Observability & Instrumentation is a comprehensive, self-paced course designed for DevOps engineers, Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), cloud professionals, and developers who want to master distributed tracing, metrics, and logging for observability in modern, microservices-driven environments.
 
What is OpenTelemetry?
 
OpenTelemetry (OTel) is an open-source observability framework that provides a vendor-neutral standard for collecting telemetry data—traces, metrics, and logs—from distributed systems. It simplifies application instrumentation by unifying APIs, SDKs, and exporters, ensuring seamless integration with backend systems like Prometheus, Jaeger, Zipkin, and commercial tools such as Datadog or New Relic.
 
With the rise of microservices, containerized workloads, and multi-cloud deployments, maintaining visibility across systems has become complex. OpenTelemetry solves this by standardizing observability pipelines, allowing teams to collect consistent, high-quality telemetry data and send it to their preferred analysis tools.
 
How to Use This Course
 
This course is structured to help you build expertise progressively:
  1. Start with Core Concepts – Understand observability basics, OpenTelemetry architecture, and its components.
  2. Learn Hands-On Instrumentation – Instrument applications in multiple languages (Python, Java, Node.js, Go) using OTel SDKs and auto-instrumentation.
  3. Configure Pipelines – Use the OpenTelemetry Collector to receive, process, and export telemetry to popular backends.
  4. Work on Real-World Projects – Implement distributed tracing in microservices, create dashboards for metrics, and analyze logs for debugging.
  5. Focus on Multi-Environment Usage – Deploy OTel in Kubernetes, integrate with CI/CD pipelines, and monitor serverless applications.
This course blends theory with practical exercises, enabling learners to implement OpenTelemetry across cloud-native environments. By following structured labs and real-world scenarios, you’ll build a strong foundation in observability and learn to troubleshoot and optimize distributed systems effectively.
 
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to design a robust observability stack using OpenTelemetry and integrate it seamlessly into DevOps workflows, ensuring high availability, resilience, and insight into complex software architectures.

Interview Questions Back to Top
  1. What is OpenTelemetry and why is it important?
    OpenTelemetry is an open-source framework for standardized telemetry collection (traces, metrics, logs) in distributed systems, crucial for unified observability.
  2. How does OpenTelemetry differ from traditional monitoring tools?
    Unlike tool-specific agents, OpenTelemetry offers vendor-neutral APIs and SDKs, enabling flexible backend integration and consistent instrumentation.
  3. What are the core components of OpenTelemetry?
    SDK/APIs (instrumentation), Collector (pipeline), and Exporters (integration with backend tools).
  4. Explain the role of the OpenTelemetry Collector.
    The Collector receives telemetry data, processes it (e.g., filtering, batching), and exports it to analysis backends.
  5. How does distributed tracing work in OpenTelemetry?
    It tracks requests across services, propagating context (trace IDs) to correlate spans and visualize latency bottlenecks.
  6. How do you instrument a Python or Java application with OpenTelemetry?
    Install language SDKs, add instrumentation libraries, configure exporters, and initialize tracing in code or via auto-instrumentation.
  7. How are metrics collected and exported in OTel?
    Metrics APIs capture data points, which are processed by the Collector and sent to tools like Prometheus or Grafana.
  8. What is context propagation and why is it important?
    Context propagation ensures trace identifiers flow across services, allowing correlation of spans in distributed systems.
