Open the Door to Observability Roles
The Cloud Native Computing Foundation and Linux Foundation Education have announced the launch of a new, free course, Getting Started with OpenTelemetry (LFS148). The course is designed for software developers, DevOps engineers, site reliability engineers and full-stack or backend developers looking to implement telemetry solutions across various applications and environments.
“As cloud native adoption increases, demand for IT professionals with expertise in observability tools like OpenTelemetry is growing rapidly,” said Chris Aniszczyk, CTO, CNCF. “Organizations need to maintain efficient, secure and resilient IT operations and for that they need professionals with strong modern observability skills.”
By enrolling in Getting Started with OpenTelemetry (LFS148) you will learn the basics of OpenTelemetry, including how to instrument code for traces, metrics, and logs; and use manual and automatic instrumentation to enhance observability in modern applications.
“Learning OpenTelemetry enables IT professionals to pursue roles like Site Reliability Engineer and DevOps Engineer, which are experiencing a significant rise in market demand,” said Clyde Seepersad, SVP, General Manager, Linux Foundation Education. “As organizations increasingly rely on observability to ensure system performance and reliability, demand for pros with OpenTelemetry expertise will continue to grow.”
Getting Started with OpenTelemetry (LFS148) is a free, 10-hour, self-paced e-Learning course that includes multiple hands-on labs. Participants also have access to our discussion forum, enabling participants to interact with fellow students and experts. Those that successfully complete the course receive a digital badge and certificate of completion.
