Distributed Apps: App Stack X 25

2. 25 stacks instead of one
3. 25 release schedules instead of one
4. API calls instead of direct function call

Unified observability platform
Example: Networking Telemetry Data from One Microservice
Disjointed telemetry
data from the
networking layer
Data points are not
connected to
application code
or business
processes
And remember:
There are 11 more
layers
Data Driven Decision
Making Needs
Context
Critical Context Factors
- Who will be impacted?
- What is the extent of the
impact?
- What is the cost?
- How does all this affect key
business metrics?
Connecting the
Dots Between
Technology and
Business Is Key
The impact of each factor
has to be understood for an
observability platform to be
able to optimize
performance, resiliency,
cost, compliance, and
security.
Real-time observability
-Multi-brand global automotive
distributor company
-A $10-billion automotive
distribution company.
-Operates in over 40 markets
and geographies.
Real-time observability
8 Ways of How AI Can Help Connecting the Dots
Between Infrastructure, Application, and Business
Navigating the Complexity of Distributed Microservices across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud
Observability + FinOps
Challenges
-Long time to parse Cloud bills
- Unable to identify cloud cost
leakages
- Difficult downloading Reports
- Multi-currency support at
Business Unit level
Actions
-BU visibility of cloud
-Auto remediate with IT
Automation with cloud monitoring
-Right size recommendations
-Integration with overall
ecosystem
Key Takeaways
Do not allow gaps in your telemetry data. Continuously scan for new
but unmonitored devices and services.
Always capture, analyze, and store data within its context.
Leverage AI for automatic root-cause analysis and optimal decision
making. Observability platforms need to deliver actionable insights
instead of disconnected alerts and dashboards.
Leverage FinOps to collaboratively optimize cost without sacrificing
resiliency, compliance, performance or security.
