How open-telemetry/opentelemetry-helm-charts works
This repository packages OpenTelemetry products as Helm charts. A cluster operator uses Helm to install a selected chart into Kubernetes; the chart renders the resources needed to deploy that product. The README documents Collector, Demo, Operator, and eBPF Instrumentation charts. The tree also includes kube-stack, eBPF, and Target Allocator charts. No source excerpts were supplied, so the graph shows documented chart-install relationships and avoids claiming internal runtime wiring.
