Description

Option to add OpenTelemetry instrumentation.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • kubegen add otel command
  • Tracing spans for reconciliation
  • Configurable exporters (Jaeger, OTLP)
  • Context propagation

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review OpenTelemetry Rust SDK documentation and kube rs tracing integration. Implement a new subcommand 'add otel' with configurable exporters. Add tracing spans to reconciliation loop. Ensure context propagation via headers.
