Target Framework (runtime) Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Kubernetes version
.NET Core 3.1 3.x
.NET 6 / .NET 7 6.x

Descriptions

.NET Core 3.1 is out of support in December 2023. We are looking for chances to retire the support for it. To do that, we created a new version, 6.x that only supports .NET 6 and/or above.

We recommend you upgrade the projects to .NET 6 or .NET 7 as soon as possible for the best features, security, and performance, and you can use Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Kubernetes 6.x alone with it.

If you can't upgrade for any reason in a short term, keep using Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Kubernetes 3.x for now.

Again, we are phasing out support for 3.x soon.
