Description

/kind feature /help

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like to be able to see tracing of the various controllers using opentelemetry. This will enable us to see how many and how long reconcile loops, AWS API calls etc take which will be very helpful for issue investigation.

Environment:

  • Cluster-api-provider-aws version:
  • Kubernetes version: (use kubectl version):
  • OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release):

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing controller structure, then implement OpenTelemetry tracing using the OpenTelemetry Go SDK. Focus on instrumenting reconcile loops and AWS API calls. Follow the OpenTelemetry specification for traces and integrate with the existing observability stack.
