Extending Monitoring With Observability

In today's world of cloud-native applications with microservices, ephemeral execution and elastic behavior, we need observability. We already monitor our systems, and observability starts with monitoring. However, observability also goes beyond simple monitoring to give you greater operational insight, leading to shorter incidents, fewer quality problems, a better product and happier customers. So, how do we get from monitoring to observability? What are the differences and extensions we need to consider? How can observability move us to an active response state? In this talk, we will investigate the five characteristics that you need in moving from the known status of your environment to discovering and responding to the unknowns to which we respond. We'll cover what observability is and why it is increasingly important, the telemetry needs of observability and how monitoring extends into this space, and how observability expands your AI/ML to produce better and faster results.
