Google Cloud has announced native support for the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) in its Cloud Trace service, allowing developers to send trace data directly using OTLP and eliminating the need for vendor-specific exporters. This includes increased storage limits for attributes and spans.
Jaeger, a leading open-source distributed tracing platform, releases its version 2, which aligns with the OpenTelemetry framework, bringing improved performance, streamlined architecture, and native support for OTLP. The update includes advanced sampling techniques, expanded ecosystem access, and a more flexible storage implementation.
