Hi All, We are planning to release few .NET open telemetry packages like this one to GA. Wanted to check if there are any upcoming changes in the semantic conventions for cloud providers ? If not, we should be fine.

Hi @birojnayak,

I believe the package you mentioned depends on cloud, but also messaging, and FaaS semantic conventions which are experimental.

Based on the stability definition all of these conventions can (and most likely will) change in a breaking way before they become stable.

There are ongoing efforts to stabilize messaging semantic conventions. My understanding that resources project intends to cover cloud* attributes as well at some point.

So GAing corresponding libraries would result in breaking changes for users and would go against OTel stability definitions.
