Explanation

Application Insights now supports distributed tracing through OpenTelemetry. OpenTelemetry provides a vendor-neutral instrumentation to send traces, metrics, and logs to Application Insights. Initially, the OpenTelemetry community took on distributed tracing. In addition to the Application Insights SDKs, Application Insights also supports distributed tracing through OpenCensus. OpenCensus is an open-source, vendor-agnostic, single distribution of libraries to provide metrics collection and distributed tracing for services. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/distributed-tracing
