Scott talks to Victor Mushkatin from the Application Insights team. They create a new Web API application to deploy to Azure, but they instrument that all with Application Insights. Victor show us how to instrumental the ASP.NET Web API and hook it directly into Application Insights to get use amounts of context. It's hugely useful when trying to understand production applications in the cloud.
