+// TestOTELAccessLogging Summary
+// This verifies that the OpenTelemetry access logging Envoy extension works as expected.
+// A simulated client (a direct HTTP call) talks to its upstream proxy through the mesh.
+// The upstream (static-server) is configured with a `builtin/otel-access-logging` extension that
+// sends Envoy access logs to an OpenTelemetry collector for incoming HTTP requests.
+// The OpenTelemetry collector is deployed as a container named `otel-collector` on the local network,
+// and configured to write Envoy access logs to its stdout log stream.
+//
+// Steps:
+//   - Create a single agent cluster.
+//   - Create the example static-server and sidecar containers, then register them both with Consul
+//   - Create an example static-client sidecar, then register both the service and sidecar with Consul
+//   - Create an OpenTelemetry collector container on the local network, this doesn't need to be registered with Consul.
+//   - Configure the static-server service with a `builtin/otel-access-logging` EnvoyExtension targeting the
+//     otel-collector service.
+//   - Make sure a call to the client sidecar local bind port results in Envoy access logs being sent to the
+//     otel-collector.
