Overview

Package opentelemetry implements a github.com/virtual-kubelet/virtual-kubelet/trace.Tracer using openTelemetry as a backend.

Use this by setting `trace.T = Adapter{}`

For customizing trace provider used in Adapter, set trace provider by `otel.SetTracerProvider(*sdktrace.TracerProvider)`. Examples of customize are setting service name, use your own exporter (e.g. jaeger, otlp, prometheus, zipkin, and stdout) etc. Do not forget to call TracerProvider.Shutdown() when you create your TracerProvider to avoid memory leak.
