Deploy OTC into Monitoring-Central

[liam-j-bennett]

Summary

In order to test Tempo and continue using Honeycomb, we need to be able to configure two upstreams, while also controlling the sampling on each of those upstream stores.

By deploying an OTC into monitoring-central, we can configure two upstreams and control the sampling on both. It also gives us a single control point for making sampling decisions and testing tail-based sampling (within OTC or otherwise).

As the deployment needs to be exposed publicly, we must have external DNS, IP and authentication on this endpoint. This authentication must include TLS and at least be basic auth (similar to metrics).

Checklist

• Create infrastructure requirements (DNS, IP)
• Create charts within monitoring central, including endpoint authentication.
• Test configuration with tracegen (https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/tree/main/cmd/tracegen)
