5 considerations when deciding on an enterprise-wide observability strategy

As enterprises shift towards distributed, multicloud environments, DevOps teams face increasing complexity due to diverse operational, technological, and regulatory challenges, coupled with heightened cyber threats and stakeholder demands. Despite a preference among IT administrators for a single tool, organizations often impose multiple tools, leading to inefficiencies and difficulties in identifying root causes within fragmented infrastructures. With most organizations experiencing increased technology stack complexity, there is a growing emphasis on end-to-end observability to gain real-time insights into application performance. A unified observability strategy is crucial, requiring clear motivations, a thorough evaluation of existing tools, and a vision for a streamlined future estate that leverages AI and automation while ensuring cybersecurity and sustainability.
