Deploy OpenTracing to Kubernetes

- [Instructor] In the previous video, we added open tracing support to our application, and we tested that by running a zip conserver locally on our laptop using just a Docker container. Now we need to get that up and running in Kubernetes. As we've done previously, we can go to Helm Hub and we can search for charts that meet our needs. So, we can type opentracing, and search for some Open Tracing charts. Unfortunately, there isn't a chart available for Zipkin, but there is for Jaeger, which is another implementation of Open Tracing. And Jaeger supports exactly the same format of data that you get from Zipkin, so we can use the Jaeger chart instead. Jaeger is in the incubator repository, rather than in the stable repository. So the first thing that we need to do is add the incubator repository to our Helm CLI, using the command that they provide for us here. We run that, and we now have access to the incubator repository. We next have to install the chart itself, and we can do that…
