Is there any way to ensure that otel-collector replicas are in sync w/ number of nodes running on a cluster?

or is the real solution here to have a loadbalanced ingress for otel collection?

any reason you wan’t to do that for the otel collector.

It makes sense for otel-collector agent but not sure why you want it for the otel-collector.

I didn't realize there was a difference- I'm used to datadog-agent which runs local to every eks node

yeah so the the normal otel collector you would want to scale only when required. As it just accepts data from the agent collectors running anywhere and writes the data to clickhouse db.

So the agent collector (k8s-infra chart) is what your are looking for, which should run everywhere and send data to the normal collectors
