This is a document to gather the release notes prior to the release.
Significant changes
Initial OpenTelemetry Support
We are starting to add (experimental) support for OpenTelemetry,
in particular Tracing support. Setting OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_FILE
will write a trace file which can then be read by the traceserver program.
More information and options are described in docs/opentelemetry.md.
The tracing data is not expected to be particularly useful for end-users in
this release; the (non-standard) recording approach is instead intended to
work well with our Prow end-to-end testing system so that developers can
optimize kOps.
Please note: this is not telemetry in the "phone-home" sense. The kOps project does not collect data from your machine. As an open-source project we do not even want to collect any of your data. Currently the only OpenTelemetry backend supported is writing to a filesystem (and it is opt-in). In future you will be able to configure other OpenTelemetry backends, but this data will only be sent if you enable OpenTelemetry, and only sent to where you configure.

GCP
