Making Azure the Best Place to Observe Your Apps with OpenTelemetry

Hi there,

Thanks for the nice Article MattMc​ 

I'm new to OpenTelemetry and currently exploring its capabilities for building a resilient observability pipeline in a production environment.

I wanted to ask if it's possible — and advisable — to configure OpenTelemetry to send telemetry data to multiple destinations simultaneously, such as Azure Monitor, Event Hub (for custom alerting via Azure Functions), or even third-party platforms like Splunk.

Our goal is to ensure that alerting remains operational even if Azure Monitor experiences downtime, especially since Azure Monitor is region-specific. Are there any best practices or architectural considerations for implementing this kind of multi-destination setup in production?

Thanks in advance for your insights!
