Hands-On OpenTelemetry, Docker, and K8s

Instrument a .NET app with OpenTelemetry, containerize with Docker, deploy to Kubernetes, and configure the OTel Collector via Helm.

In this workshop, you’ll get hands-on experience with the following:

• Practice deploying the collector and instrumenting a .NET application with the Splunk distribution of OpenTelemetry .NET in Linux and Kubernetes environments.
• Practice “dockerizing” a .NET application, running it in Docker, and then adding Splunk OpenTelemetry instrumentation.
• Practice deploying the Splunk distro of the collector in a K8s environment using Helm. Then customize the collector config and troubleshoot an issue.

The workshop uses a simple .NET application to illustrate these concepts. Let’s get started!
