**Note: This is an experimental package under active development. New releases may include breaking changes.**
The OpenTelemetry Propagator for AWS X-Ray Lambda provides propagation based on the X-Ray `_X_AMZN_TRACE_ID` environment
variable in addition to the AWS X-Ray HTTP headers. This propagator should be used only for an AWS Lambda instrumentation.
The preferred method for using this propagator is by using the `OTEL_PROPAGATORS` environment variable. For more details,
see the [semantic conventions specification for AWS Lambda](https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions/blob/main/docs/faas/aws-lambda.md).
The propagator extracts context from the `_X_AMZN_TRACE_ID` environment variable, except when there is already another
context active. It also automatically uses the [AWS X-Ray propagator](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js-contrib/tree/main/propagators/opentelemetry-propagator-aws-xray).
