A team wants to attach metadata describing the entity producing telemetry, such as pod name and namespace, to all spans and metrics from a service. Which OpenTelemetry concept does this use?

Question

Accepted Answer

B. Resources. A resource represents the entity producing telemetry, and its attributes can include details like pod name, namespace, process, or deployment. Resources are attached to providers when they are created. Option a is wrong because baggage is propagated request context, not stable entity metadata about the service instance.
