OpenTelemetry tracing holds valuable information to understand and troubleshoot distributed systems, but services must be instrumented to emit OpenTelemetry traces. To overcome this hurdle, tobs (The Observability Stack for Kubernetes) was announced as a tool that can deploy a complete observability stack in minutes, including the OpenTelemetry Operator, Promscale, and Grafana. The OpenTelemetry Operator manages two tasks: deploying OpenTelemetry Collector instances and injecting libraries and binaries needed for auto-instrumentation into pods. Tobs allows developers to install their observability stack and take care of the first level of instrumentation in just a few steps, with no need to change code or configure anything manually. With tobs, microservices can be automatically instrumented with OpenTelemetry traces, and traces are sent to Promscale for analysis using SQL queries or visualization through Grafana's pre-built APM dashboards.
