CNCF On-Demand: Introduction to OpenTelemetry Kotlin

In this session, Jamie Lynch (senior software engineer at Embrace and a maintainer in the OpenTelemetry Kotlin SIG) introduces OpenTelemetry Kotlin, a Kotlin Multiplatform implementation of the OpenTelemetry specification. With it, developers can now capture telemetry on various platforms, including JVM, Android, iOS, and JavaScript, using a consistent Kotlin API. The new Kotlin SDK has two modes of operation: compatibility mode, which wraps OpenTelemetry Java, and implementation mode, which uses Kotlin Multiplatform.

Jamie also covers a step-by-step guide on setting up the Kotlin SDK, instrumenting an application with traces and logs, and exporting telemetry data.

The OpenTelemetry Kotlin project is new, and Jamie encourages the CNCF community to contribute, whether through code, feedback, or documentation, to stabilize and enhance the SDK. He shares the priorities for the Kotlin SIG, including stabilizing the logging and tracing APIs and developing instrumentation for widely-used libraries like Ktor.

You can help the OpenTelemetry Kotlin project by:
* Trying the project in your app and giving feedback
* Joining the #otel-kotlin channel in the CNCF slack
* Giving feedback at https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-kotlin/issues
* Writing code or documentation that helps progress the implementation

MCP vs. FDC3: Why AI Agents Still Need Desktop Interoperability | Rob Moffat

Rob Moffat (Chief Architect at FINOS) maps out the intersection of workspace interoperability, open-source AI deployment, and multi-cloud security frameworks. He compares MCP (Model Context Protocol) with FDC3, tracks the rollout of the Common Cloud Controls (CCC) live validator tool, and reveals how open-source standards prevent multi-vendor lock-in at the desktop and infrastructure layers.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Join us in London! Dive into FDC3 Con and CCC working sessions on June 23-24, ahead of OSFF London on June 25, 2026: https://hubs.ly/Q041YV9Z0 (Use Code: 26YTOSFFLN20C)

πŸ“Š The Problem: Fragmented API Protocols and Multi-Cloud Configuration Drift
Financial technology stacks are heavily fractured at both ends of the architecture. On the desktop, the emergence of Model Context Protocol (MCP) handles basic request-response data queries but misses the rich, stateful orchestration layer needed to tie legacy banking applications together. Meanwhile, at the infrastructure layer, cloud security teams are forced to manually translate uniform security constraints into completely distinct vendor syntaxes, creating systemic compliance drift and massive platform team overhead.

πŸ—οΈ The Solution: Unified Context Surfaces and Open Compliance Validators
Rob Moffat details how open-source abstractions are resolving fragmentation at every level of the financial enterprise:

FDC3 as the Agent Interface: Providing an operational workspace framework that allows AI agents to read, interact with, and seamlessly drive multi-application workflows natively without massive API custom coding.

Common Cloud Controls Taxonomy: Building a vendor-agnostic catalog that translates core compliance mandates into predictable, repeatable infrastructure configurations.

The CCC Live Validator: Rolling out code-driven validation tools that automatically check native cloud environments against the master CCC schema to detect configuration drift instantly.

βš™οΈ Why This Matters for Financial Engineering

Securing the Desktop Supply Chain: Ensuring that as banks add AI assistance to trade execution or client onboarding screens, those tools use pre-vetted semantic security context lines.

Neutral Governance Pipelines: Bypassing proprietary SaaS cloud-security products in favor of open, community-maintained validation infrastructure that scales natively across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
