Describe the issue you're reporting

Consider this scenario: The user deploys OTEL as a DaemonSet in Kubernetes, and the user wants to specify the initial configuration of OTEL in the k8s configuration file. What should the user do?

1. According to opampsupervisor document，When Supervisor is launched for the first time, users can only initialize the configuration for each OTEL instance remotely.

2. According to opampsupervisor source code, when supervisor starts, it will try to read the local configuration file (which can be considered as initialization configuration) to start OTEL.

Which of the above methods or both will opampsupervisor ultimately adopt?

Both, as described by the design document. Quote from design document:

The config file is created by merging the local config file (optional) and the 
remote config received from OpAMP backend (also optional).

@tigrannajaryan Thanks for your answer.
I was a little confused about the opampsupervisor document before. It's clear now
