Part 6: AI Observability, OpenTelemetry GenAI & Continuous Evaluation
Answer-first: Enterprise GenAI observability establishes end-to-end visibility into autonomous agent workflows by standardizing on OpenTelemetry semantic conventions v1.30, capturing distributed execution traces, token consumption velocity, and model hallucination metrics across private gateways and local models, enabling engineering leaders to enforce strict operational latency SLAs and budget caps across production cloud infrastructure. Prerequisite: Familiarity with OpenTelemetry tracing standards, Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards, and FinOps cloud accounting. 1. The Fatal Blind Spot of Traditional APM In microservices architectures, Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) rely on the Four Golden Signals: Latency, Traffic, Errors, and Saturation. ...
