A team wants to instrument applications once and keep the freedom to change observability backends later without re-instrumenting. Which OpenTelemetry principle most directly supports that goal?

Question

Accepted Answer

A. Vendor neutrality and ownership of generated data. The OpenTelemetry introduction highlights two key principles: you own the data you generate and there is no vendor lock-in. That is why teams can change backends without rewriting instrumentation. Option c is wrong because OpenTelemetry does not require a single dashboard product.
