At the end of this lecture, learners should understand that different wire formats and mechanisms for transporting metrics have different tradeoffs. They should understand the Prometheus standard (e.g. the text style) and the OpenTelemetry standard (e.g. the JSON or proto specification). Lastly, they should understand that we'll be using the OpenTelemetry implementation in Prometheus, just because its more applicable and easier to integrate against other vendors (or the collector).
