SIG Telemetry

Observability has become an increasingly hot topic given the challenges of reliably operating distributed systems such as one finds in Kubernetes environments. The term can cover a lot of ground but a typical definition spans metrics, tracing, and logging. Even if monitoring is often considered to be something distinct, it’s at least closely related. A key part of observability is the automatic collection and transmission of data. In other words, telemetry.

Scope

We will discuss problem statements, research that group members are performing to address them, and how to evolve the environment to better support research needs.

In scope

• Define research problem statements around Telemetry

• Discuss solutions to those problem statements

• Provide access to a platform for telemetry research

Out of scope

• Create Open Data sets for research

• Define a standardized application stack

Stakeholders

Subproject Creation

Creation of subprojects happens through SIG consensus, coordinated by SIG Chairs. All subprojects and their memberships are tracked in sigs.yaml.
