-If `quarkus.scheduler.tracing.enabled` is set to `true` and the xref:opentelemetry.adoc[OpenTelemetry extension] is present then the `@io.opentelemetry.instrumentation.annotations.WithSpan` annotation is added automatically to every `@Scheduled` method. As a result, each execution of this method has a new `io.opentelemetry.api.trace.Span` associated.
+If `quarkus.scheduler.tracing.enabled` is set to `true` and the xref:opentelemetry.adoc[OpenTelemetry extension] is present then every job execution, either defined with the `@Scheduled` annotation or scheduled programmatically, automatically creates a span named after the job's <<identity>>.[[virtual_threads]]
