OpenTelemetry is a CNCF Graduated Project
Today, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) announced that OpenTelemetry has graduated.
Graduation is an important milestone for the project and reflects the strength of the OpenTelemetry community and ecosystem. Since the merger of OpenTracing and OpenCensus, thousands of contributors, maintainers, end users, and organizations have helped shape OpenTelemetry into an open, vendor-neutral observability framework used across the industry.
This milestone belongs to the community.
We want to thank everyone who has contributed code, documentation, specifications, language SDKs, semantic conventions, bug reports, reviews, community support, advocacy, and end-user experiences. OpenTelemetry exists because of the people who continue to invest their time and expertise in the project every day.
We are also grateful to the CNCF community, Technical Oversight Committee sponsors, and end users who supported OpenTelemetry throughout the graduation process.
Graduation is not the finish line. The OpenTelemetry community remains committed to building interoperable, high-quality observability standards and tooling for cloud native software at global scale.
Thank you for being part of the journey. We’re excited for what comes next.
