What were you searching in the docs?
In the Tracer docs, when introducing the utility, we should clarify why we use X-Ray over ADOT/OTEL - which appears to be the recommended way of tracing functions by other AWS teams. The Python docs for Tracer have a banner that explains the reasoning, and since it's a somewhat common question from customers we should add the same banner.
Is this related to an existing documentation section?
https://docs.powertools.aws.dev/lambda/dotnet/core/tracing/#installation
How can we improve?
We should add a banner similar to the one present in the Python docs that specifies that we use X-Ray for latency reasons, see here: https://docs.powertools.aws.dev/lambda/python/latest/core/tracer/#getting-started
Got a suggestion in mind?
