Data sovereignty is crucial for businesses today, driven by government regulations and increasing customer demand for control over their online privacy and information. To better serve our Australian customers, Datadog recently opened our AP2 datacenter in Australia.

Keeping tabs on cloud spending across multiple organizations and vendors, including Datadog, can be tough and costly. If you're not tracking expenses, you're also missing other critical insights. The Flight Centre Travel Group (FCTG) faced this when moving to Datadog, needing to monitor costs across numerous organizations and over 180 Azure subscriptions. After a rapid migration, new cost reports quickly revealed more than just financial benefits. Unusual spending patterns often highlighted incidents, bugs, or security issues, offering early warnings about internal system problems.

Technology moves quickly and while the spotlight has shifted to dynamic, cloud-based systems, many organizations have legacy applications and infrastructure that they must maintain. In this fireside chat, Datadog’s Matt Moore (Principal Observability Strategist) will host James Flores (Enterprise Systems Engineer) at Australian Community Media to discuss their journey of modernization and bridging legacy systems with the cloud using a bit of ingenuity and observability.

What if you could instantly add an engineer to your team -- one who knows your system and is on call 24/7? That’s Datadog BITS. From gathering context to generating and testing hypothesis, BITS helps you find root causes in minutes - not hours.
