During November 2025, Michael Caps built and enhanced an OpenTelemetry Metrics Workbook for Azure Monitor within the microsoft/Application-Insights-Workbooks repository. He introduced a generic query structure and expanded the scenario list, enabling broader coverage and faster diagnostics for OpenTelemetry-based workloads. His work focused on improving observability by allowing users to visualize and analyze OTEL metrics directly in Azure Monitor Workbooks. Michael utilized skills in Azure, KQL, and data visualization, emphasizing maintainability and cross-repository collaboration. The depth of his contributions is reflected in the thoughtful abstraction of queries and scenario design, which streamlined monitoring workflows and accelerated time-to-insights for users.
