Logz.io Allies with Microsoft on Open Source Observability

Logz.io this week announced an alliance with Microsoft that enables DevOps teams to deploy its observability platform—based on open source platforms such as ElasticSearch, Logstash, Kibana (ELK), Prometheus and Jaeger—on the Azure public cloud. Jonah Kowall, Logz.io’s CTO, said the multi-year effort enables those teams to deploy the Logz.io platform via the Azure Console with the click of a button.

Interest in observability is rising as organizations attempt to provide internal IT teams with more context when troubleshooting issues.

As hybrid cloud computing continues to evolve, it is apparent that observability platforms will need to extend their reach from the cloud to the network edge.

After all, the only thing more difficult to instrument than an application before it is deployed is, arguably, one that is already running in a production environment.
