An AZ-900 study group argues about whether candidates must write SDK code to wire Application Insights into an app. What is the correct fundamentals-level expectation?

Writing instrumentation code, custom telemetry processors, or deep APM configuration belongs to developer or administrator associate skills, not AZ-900. Study groups should focus on purpose and placement in the monitoring landscape.
