Conflicting information about Auto-instrumentation support for .NET Core

[stiglyt]

On this page, there is a note at the top that says: Auto-instrumentation is available for ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core IIS-hosted applications and Java. Use an SDK to instrument Node.js and Python applications hosted on an Azure virtual machines and virtual machine scale sets.

While further down, there is another note that says: .NET Core, Node.js, and Python applications are only supported on Azure virtual machines and Azure virtual machine scale sets via manual SDK based instrumentation and therefore the steps below do not apply to these scenarios.

It's not clear if auto-instrumentation is support for .NET Core or not. Also, the first note says ASP.NET Core, while the second note says .NET Core. Is that intentionally?
