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?

Application Insights is an extension of Azure Monitor and provides Application Performance Monitoring (also known as “APM”) features. APM tools are useful to monitor applications from development, through test, and into production in the following ways: Proactively understand how an application is performing.
"Log Analytics" is referred as a feature and not what used to be known as Log Analytics as a product. For instance, Application Insights resources provide the same "Log Analytics" feature. For Azure Functions / APIM the native integration with Azure Monitor is through Application Insights. Update (October, 2020).
Select Application Insights in the Azure control panel for your app service, then select Enable. Choose to create a new resource, or select an existing Application Insights resource for this application.
Application Insights is an Azure service. Security policies are described in the Azure Security, Privacy, and Compliance white paper. The data is stored in Microsoft Azure servers.
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.
