### AI overview

This news article covers a KubeCon presentation about using AI agents as an internal developer platform. It discusses semantic search across sources such as Git, Slack, Jira, repositories, pull requests, and wiki pages; guardrails for controlling actions; and logs, metrics, and traces for understanding agent behavior. The speakers also describe OpenTelemetry conventions for GenAI and related observability tools.

### Source excerpt

Agents are becoming the new developer platform, using semantic search with data from tools like Git, Slack, and Jira for context. Things to consider are setting guardrails to block or allow things, and using logs, metrics, and traces to understand agent behavior. By Ben Linders

### AI overview

A developer-oriented glossary explains core OpenTelemetry and observability concepts, including observability, traces, spans, context propagation, metrics, and logs. It describes how traces follow requests across distributed systems, how spans represent individual operations, and how context propagation connects work across service boundaries.

### Source excerpt

A glossary of OpenTelemetry and observability terms, from traces and spans to Grafana and Datadog. Opinionated definitions for developers who don't have time for dry documentation.
