-You can use the [OpenTelemetry Java agent](..) with byte code instrumentation to
-automatically instrument a [Spring Boot](https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot)
-application; or you can also use the OpenTelemetry [Spring Boot starter] to
-instrument your application.
+The [OpenTelemetry Java agent](..) with byte code instrumentation can cover most
+of your needs when instrumenting
+[Spring Boot](https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot) applications.
+
+You can't use the OpenTelemetry Java agent with Spring Boot Native image
+applications, but you still can instrument your code using OpenTelemetry [Spring
+Boot starter].

-The OpenTelemetry starter is compatible with Spring Boot 2.0 and 3.0, and Spring
-native.
+The
+[opentelemetry-java-examples/spring-native](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-examples/tree/main/spring-native)
+repository contains an example of a Spring Boot Native image application
+instrumented using the OpenTelemetry Spring Boot starter.
+
+Another situation in which the OpenTelemetry starter can help you is if the
+startup overhead of the OpenTelemetry Java agent exceeds your requirements.
+
+If your application already uses another Java monitoring agent, the OpenTelemetry Java agent
+might not work. In this case, use the OpenTelemetry starter.
+
+The rest of this page documents the OpenTelemetry starter that works with Spring
+Boot 2.0 and 3.0.
