 ### :rocket: (Enhancement)
 
-feat(sdk-node): set value for `service.instance.id` as random UUID as default. The value can still be overwritten by environment variable or cloud provider.
+feat(sdk-node): set value for `service.instance.id` as random UUID as default if environment variable `OTEL_NODE_JS_EXPERIMENTAL_DEFAULT_SERVICE_INSTANCE_ID` is set to true. The value can still be overwritten by the value of `service.instance.id` on the environment variable `OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES` or bt the cloud provider.
