This should also include details on the approach to collector image security as that's something I hear a lot about.

There is a Security document in the collector repo, not sure if this belongs there or can be migrated into the docs:

Some parts of this doc are for Collector end-users while others are for component developers. I think information for end-users makes sense to have under the OpenTelemetry docs, but information for component developers may be too niche

svrnm commented 12 months ago

Splitting it into end-user material @ docs and keep the developer specific material in the repo makes sense to me. (and adding a back-reference from both documents to link them)
