Public Preview: Azure Monitor Application Insights Auto-Instrumentation for Java and Node Microservices on AKS

Application Insights integration for Java and Node microservices is now available in Public Preview. You can now easily monitor your Java and Node deployments without changing your code by leveraging auto-instrumentation that is integrated into the AKS cluster. 

This integration currently supports Java or Node kubernetes deployments running on Linux node pools. With this feature enabled, the AKS platform will instrument popular Node and Java libraries in your code and automatically send correlated Open Telemetry- based application-level logs, metrics, and distributed tracing to your Application Insights resource.   

Additionally, this integration enables efficient identification of whether issues originate from the infrastructure or the application by using Open Telemetry Resource Attributes to link application telemetry with infrastructure signals. This facilitates the inclusion of Container Insights data into Application Insights and introduces Application Insights to Container Insights transition experiences.  These capabilities will help you easily assess the performance of your application and identify the cause of incidents efficiently.
