Summary

Microsoft Azure is utilized by over 95% of Fortune 500 companies and provides a wide array of cloud services, but the complexity of managing and monitoring these services in hybrid and multicloud environments highlights the importance of Azure observability. Observability refers to the ability to understand a system's operations through metrics, logs, and traces, and it is crucial for effective monitoring and troubleshooting of cloud-native applications. Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework emphasizes observability as a key strategy, enabling companies to develop alerts, dashboards, and evaluate AIOps solutions to ensure optimal performance and meet business expectations. Dynatrace, a Microsoft gold partner, offers a platform that enhances Azure observability by unifying application and infrastructure monitoring, automating operations, and supporting end-to-end tracing, thereby reducing mean time to resolution and fostering innovation. By integrating with Azure services, Dynatrace provides a comprehensive view of the IT stack, which helps organizations optimize continuous integration and delivery pipelines and improve digital experiences.
