linkerd jaeger extension docs still mention opencensus instead of opentelemetry

Open christophsturm opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

The jaeger module docs say “Unfortunately, OpenTelemetry is not yet production ready and so OpenCensus remains our recommendation for the moment.”

https://github.com/linkerd/website/blob/6035855d3ef25e5dc71612c49ac66b91983e86c8/linkerd.io/content/2.11/tasks/distributed-tracing.md?plain=1#L289

but since version 2.11 this is no longer valid and linkerd actually supports opentelemetry.

Also for me it is a bit confusing that the extension is called jaeger. I think it could be called opentelemetry or telemetry

Thanks for catching this @christophsturm ... definitely an omission.

This whole doc needs to be updated... lots of OpenCensus-specific recommendations in here.
