| 9 | +# OpenTelemetry on Azure |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Azure's integration with OpenTelemetry provides a suite of products for: |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +> [!div class="checklist"] |
| 14 | +> - Collection of telemetry data in a standardized way |
| 15 | +> - Consumption of data using curated experiences on Azure Monitor and local tools |
| 16 | +
|
| 17 | +This article guides you through our OpenTelemetry offerings on and beyond Azure, from data collection to data consumption, to help you understand Microsoft’s strategic investments in OpenTelemetry. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +## Data Collection |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +The **Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry distro** is Microsoft’s customized, supported, and open-sourced version of the OpenTelemetry software development kits (SDKs). It supports .NET, Java, JavaScript (Node.js), and Python. The Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry distro replaces the Application Insights SDK. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +It focuses on ease-of-enablement by bundling together: |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +> [!div class="checklist"] |
| 26 | +> - The OpenTelemetry SDK and API |
| 27 | +> - Instrumentation Libraries across logs, metrics, and traces |
| 28 | +
|
| 29 | +In addition, Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry distro-based automatic instrumentation solutions are integrated into App Service for Java and Python apps and into Java Functions. |

| 38 | +**Azure SDKs** are instrumented with OpenTelemetry APIs to power end-to-end observability. All supported languages are instrumented to emit OpenTelemetry HTTP and/or Messaging Tracing Semantics; .NET and Java are being instrumented to emit OpenTelemetry HTTP Metrics Semantics. |

| 44 | +**.NET** has OpenTelemetry APIs as part of the runtime. The .NET OpenTelemetry implementation uses logging, metrics, and activity APIs in the framework for instrumentation. OpenTelemetry collects telemetry from those APIs and other sources (via instrumentation libraries) and then exports the data to an application performance monitoring (APM) system for storage and analysis. |

| 48 | +**Azure Monitor pipeline at edge** is a powerful solution designed to facilitate high-scale data ingestion and routing from edge environments to seamlessly enable observability across cloud, edge, and multicloud. It uses the OpenTelemetry Collector. Currently, in public preview, it can be deployed on a single Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster, and it can collect OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) logs. |

| 53 | +## Data Platform and Consumption |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +**.NET Aspire** is an opinionated cloud-native stack that includes observability by default with OpenTelemetry. Part of it's a "Developer Dashboard" to observe OpenTelemetry signals in real-time during debugging. It collects logs, metrics, and traces using OTLP from applications of any OpenTelemetry-supported languages besides .NET. |

| 60 | +**Azure Monitor Application Insights** is Azure’s APM that supports cloud-scale application monitoring and excels at observability for both cloud-native applications and VM-based applications. Application Insights provides experiences powered by OpenTelemetry to enhance the performance, reliability, and quality of your applications. For example, Application map is a visual overview of application architecture and components' interactions; Transaction search helps identify issues and optimize performance. |
