Since it was released in 2015, the Serverless Framework has become the community-favorite way to manage and deploy serverless applications in the cloud. Similar to Terraform and CloudFormation, it lets you express infrastructure as code, making it easy to share and version-control your entire serverless environment.

The goal of Grafana has always been to help people feel in control of their observability infrastructure. Users come in with an alert; that takes them to a dashboard; they use ad hoc querying; and then they use log aggregation or distributed tracing to come up with a fix that will resolve an incident or issue.

Hybrid monitoring has increasingly become a priority in the SCOM community. A growing number of enterprises are running workloads both on-prem and in the cloud, with some of us creating new workloads in the cloud, and others engaging in a gradual migration to the cloud – a process that often takes place over a number of years. How can we deliver a complete monitoring strategy for our hybrid environments via SCOM?

Returning from VMworld 2019 a couple weeks ago, one thing was clear: we’re seeing a convergence of IT Operations and DevOps in the marketplace, and with that, an infrastructure transformation which will rely heavily on process and workload automation. But, as we move more and more towards the automated datacenter (private and/or public), it’s important to keep in mind two critical components to make automation successful: data and governance.

Sumo Logic was one of the first in the industry to release a comprehensive set of applications to monitor and secure the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) stack.
