Observability moves to the center of the distributed systems conversation

In an age of distributed systems, cloud native architectures, and workloads, the act of “monitoring” has morphed into “observability,” yet both remain important as enterprises manage complex hybrid and multicloud infrastructure.
The distinction between monitoring and observability can be tricky to pin down. But the two terms are increasingly being differentiated by monitoring solutions for traditional system architectures without total visibility and observability for an end-to-end systems view that establishes a level of cause rather than just effect. Observability for enterprise systems means understanding not just “what,” but “why.”
OpenTelemetry attracts major enterprise interest in drive to set common observability standard

Without traffic signals and signage, life would not be pleasant on local streets; motorists would drive in opposing lanes and chaos would ensue. A stop sign is a reliable standard; it means the same thing no matter where it may be located.
The OpenTelemetry project is the computing industry’s attempt to provide a de facto standard for observability within cloud native applications and avoid a lot of wasted time and effort blundering around digital roads. It is a merging of the OpenTracing and OpenCensus projects so that telemetry data can be portable and useful regardless of the vendor. By creating a consolidated system with metrics, tracing and logging, users of observability systems can more easily identify failures, track running processes and analyze application-specific messages.
