Difference between Application Insights SDK (local) and Azure Application Insights

Viewed 1486

In Visual Studio 2019 when I right-click my project and choose Configure Application Insights I have the option to add Application Insights SDK (local) or Azure Application Insights. Unfortunately, the description and tooltips are the same for both options. What is the difference between these two choices?

First option Application Insights Sdk would only configure your project to add and use AI SDK. Second option would do that and help you create or select Azure Application Insights service instance and then add corresponding connection settings to your project.
