+## Language-specific options [_language_specific_options]
+
+Use Elastic APM agents or an OpenTelemetry language SDK to instrument a service in the language its written in:
+
+* [**Elastic APM agents**](../../../solutions/observability/apps/elastic-apm-agents.md): Elastic APM agents are instrumentation libraries written in the same language as your service.
+* [**OpenTelemetry**](../../../solutions/observability/apps/use-opentelemetry-with-apm.md): OpenTelemetry is an open source set of APIs, SDKs, tooling, and integrations that enable the capture and management of telemetry data from your services and applications.
+
+    * This option includes Elastic Distributions of OpenTelemetry, which are customized versions of [OpenTelemetry language SDKs](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/) that are optimized to work with an Elastic backend.

+## Service-specific options [_service_specific_options]
+
+Elastic also offers several tools to help you collect data from specific services:
+
+* **Kubernetes**: The Elastic APM attacher for Kubernetes simplifies the instrumentation and configuration of your application pods. Read more in the [APM attacher for Kubernetes docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/attacher/current/apm-attacher.html).
+* **AWS Lambda Functions**: Helps you monitor your AWS Lambda functions. Read more in the [APM Architecture for AWS Lambda docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/lambda/current/aws-lambda-arch.html).
+* [8.15.0] **Jaeger**: Helps you to switch an existing Jaeger setup from the default Jaeger backend to the {{stack}}. Read more in [Integrate with Jaeger](../../../solutions/observability/apps/integrate-with-jaeger-deprecated.md).
