## Jaeger 2 on Ubuntu 24.04 by cloudimg
Jaeger is the CNCF-graduated distributed tracing platform — collect spans from your services via OpenTelemetry / Jaeger / Zipkin protocols, index them, and render trace timelines in a web UI to see where each request spent time across microservices. Version 2 is a ground-up rewrite as a collection of OpenTelemetry Collector components, which simplifies deployment and aligns with the OTel standard. The cloudimg image installs the Jaeger v2 all-in-one binary with an embedded Badger key-value store for trace persistence, fronted by nginx with HTTP basic-auth on port 80.
