OpenTelemetry for Unified Observability
Are your monitoring tools leaving you blind to what's really happening in your distributed .NET systems? As applications grow more complex, surface-level dashboards and siloed logs aren't enough. OpenTelemetry for Unified Observability empowers developers, DevOps engineers, and SREs to gain full visibility into system behavior using open-source, vendor-neutral tools. In this hands-on course, you'll learn how to instrument .NET applications with the OpenTelemetry SDK, export telemetry data to Jaeger and Prometheus, and use traces, metrics, and logs to pinpoint performance issues, uncover hidden bottlenecks, and resolve incidents faster. Through real-world scenarios, coach-guided investigations, and a capstone project, you'll build a complete observability stack and gain practical experience diagnosing and optimizing production systems. This course is ideal for developers, DevOps engineers, SREs, and platform teams who want to improve reliability and performance using open-source, vendor-neutral observability tools with OpenTelemetry. Learners should be familiar with basic understanding of .NET applications and familiarity with containers, cloud, or distributed systems helpful. By the end of the course, you will be equipped to integrate OpenTelemetry into your applications and use observability as a strategic advantage in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), and modern software development practices.
