The UK's Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is modernizing its IT infrastructure by embracing cloud-based platforms and employing the Elastic Stack to centralize logs, thereby enhancing observability and performance monitoring across its extensive operations. This initiative, part of the DVLA's Open Services Landscape strategy, aims to address interoperability challenges by allowing data to be shared seamlessly across different systems, ultimately improving customer experience and operational efficiency. To support this transformation, the DVLA has invested in Elastic Training, equipping its teams with crucial skills in utilizing the Elastic Stack, fostering a collaborative learning environment, and setting the agency on a path to become a center of excellence for cloud services within the government. The training has enabled teams to create and manage dashboards independently, and the DVLA is exploring further applications of Elastic’s offerings, such as Elastic Security, to enhance their IT capabilities.
