If you are looking to renew your organisation’s cyber insurance, you may have been optimistic that the rising price of premiums has been slowing down.

When you export OpenTelemetry metrics to Prometheus, resource fields like service.name or deployment.environment don’t show up as metric labels. Prometheus drops them. To use them in queries, you’d have to join with target_info: This makes filtering and grouping more difficult than necessary. Prometheus 3.0 changes that. It supports resource attribute promotion—automatically converting OpenTelemetry resource fields into Prometheus labels.

Deploying a new service shouldn’t break dashboards. But it happens, usually because metric names or labels aren’t consistent across teams. You end up with traces that don’t link, metrics that don’t align, and queries that take hours to debug, not because the system is complex, but because the telemetry is fragmented. OTel Weaver addresses this by enforcing OpenTelemetry semantic conventions at the source.

Fast-forward to 2025: SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) not only stuck around, but became the springboard to something far bigger – SASE (Secure Access Service Edge).
