observability-k8s-investigation

Investigate Kubernetes workload, node, and control-plane issues using OTel telemetry (EDOT). Use when diagnosing pod failures (CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, Error), node pressure, resource exhaustion, image pull failures, admission rejections, autoscaling anomalies, or correlating K8s state with application signals. OTel ingest path only — the legacy ECS Kubernetes integration shape is out of scope.
