Grafana Tempo operator

This is a Kubernetes operator for Grafana Tempo.

Features

• Resource Limits - Specify overall resource requests and limits in the TempoStack CR; the operator assigns fractions of it to each component
• AuthN and AuthZ - Supports OpenID Control (OIDC) and role-based access control (RBAC)
• Managed upgrades - Updating the operator will automatically update all managed Tempo clusters
• Multitenancy - Multiple tenants can send traces to the same Tempo cluster
• mTLS - Communication between the Tempo components can be secured via mTLS
• Jaeger UI - Traces can be visualized in Jaeger UI and exposed via Ingress or OpenShift Route
• Observability - The operator and TempoStack operands expose telemetry (metrics, traces) and integrate with Prometheus ServiceMonitor and PrometheusRule

1. Create a secret for minio in the namespace you are using:

kubectl apply -f - <<EOF

stringData:
  endpoint: http://minio.minio.svc:9000
  bucket: tempo
  access_key_id: tempo
  access_key_secret: supersecret
