Completed Python Flask Zero-Code Instrumentation with label fixes!
Now integrating Otel config with Beanstalk AMI, exploring custom AMI vs .ebextensions.
Also kicked off GitOps for Docker in Homelab using Selfhosted GitHub Actions, Doppler & Komodo.

Since Zookeeper is deprecated in the new Kafka release, we're not jumping straight to KRaft. Instead, we're first migrating to Kafka (N-1) + Zookeeper with MirrorMaker. This gives us time to evaluate KRaft migration for prod.
