Datadog's integrations with Kubernetes and Azure Monitor provide comprehensive visibility into Microsoft's managed service, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), without additional configuration. AKS automates the provisioning, maintenance, and scaling of Kubernetes clusters, managing control plane and launching other Azure resources to support containerized applications. Datadog collects metrics, distributed request traces, and logs from Kubernetes, Azure, and services running in the container infrastructure, enabling real-time insights into cluster health, resource consumption, and status. With automatic tagging, Datadog pulls in tags from Azure, Docker, and Kubernetes, allowing for easy monitoring of AKS clusters alongside other technologies. The Live Container view provides real-time insights into container health and resource consumption, making it easier to identify operational data and optimize performance.
