AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry Ruby

With the AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) Ruby, you can instrument your applications once and send correlated metrics and traces to multiple AWS monitoring solutions including Amazon CloudWatch, AWS X-Ray, and Amazon OpenSearch Service. Using X-Ray with ADOT requires two components: an *OpenTelemetry SDK* enabled for use with X-Ray, and the *AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry Collector* enabled for use with X-Ray.

To get started, see the [AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry Ruby documentation](https://aws-otel.github.io/docs/getting-started/ruby-sdk).

For more information about using the AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry with AWS X-Ray and other AWS services, see [AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry](https://aws-otel.github.io/) or the [AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry Documentation](https://aws-otel.github.io/docs/introduction).

For more information about language support and usage, see [AWS Observability on GitHub](https://github.com/aws-observability).
