Azure Monitor Application Insights is a cloud native application performance monitoring (APM) offering which enables you to observe failures, bottlenecks, and usage patterns to resolve incidents faster and reduce downtime. With the public preview release of Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry exporters for [.NET](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/azure-monitor/app/opentelemetry-enable?tabs=net)[, Node.js, and Python,](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/opentelemetry-enable?tabs=net) you can now instrument your application with OpenTelemetry’s vendor-neutral and consistent APIs/SDKs across languages.
