2.4 Add App Insights

Tracing & Observability

While not covered explicitly in the tutorial, we will be working with code in the Ideate section that is instrumented for observability (tracing).

• See: How to Trace your application with Azure AI Inference SDK

In order to visualize those traces in the Azure AI Foundry Portal, we need to attach an Application Insights resource to our Azure AI project ahead of time.
