We are excited to share that the AIOps and Observability solution from Broadcom has earned a leader position for platform play and maturity in the GigaOm Radar Report for Cloud Observability, 2023. This report reviewed solutions from 20 vendors on 13 criteria, including across such areas as innovation, understanding of emerging trends, solution capabilities and features, and deployment models.

Kubernetes is the gold standard for container orchestration at scale. While massive global companies like Google, Spotify, and Pinterest rely on Kubernetes to run their software in production, so do many small but mighty developer teams. (Full disclosure: Honeycomb joined the Kubernetes brigade last year, when we migrated some of our services.)

I am thrilled that CloudFabrix is a pioneering design partner for Cisco’s Full-Stack Observability Platform (FSO). The Cisco FSO Platform has been designed with a vision of providing a unified observability experience across all application and infrastructure aspects, thereby dismantling silos. The platform’s choice to adopt OpenTelemetry as the protocol for data ingestion via MELT opens up the possibility for comprehensive insights on the complete stack.

Today, I’ll cover the benefits of monitoring and observability in Nutanix AHV environments and Hyper Converged Infrastructures (HCI) and how observability can help IT teams run cost-efficient, performant Nutanix deployments. Modern enterprises need infrastructures designed for resilience, cost-effectiveness, and application performance. Organizations are adopting hybrid multi-cloud strategies and looking to simplify and optimize on-premises and data center operations.

Limited visibility into network performance across multi-clouds frustrates even the best teams. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce enhanced AWS and GCP support for Kentik Cloud, enabling network, cloud, and infrastructure teams to rapidly troubleshoot and understand multi-cloud traffic.

In Kubernetes, the Domain Name System (DNS) plays a crucial role in enabling service discovery for pods to locate and communicate with other services within the cluster. This function is essential for managing the dynamic nature of Kubernetes environments and ensuring that applications can operate seamlessly. For organizations migrating their workloads to Kubernetes, it’s also important to establish connectivity with services outside the cluster.

Are you getting value for every dollar spent on IT monitoring tools? Amidst the prevailing global economic turbulence, budgets are shrinking, and every dollar spent counts. However, Gartner forecasts a 5.1% growth in worldwide IT spending for 2023. Enterprises implement digital technologies to cope with layoffs and keep their systems up. The million-dollar question is: Is the monitoring output worth the cost of the monitoring solution?
