Cloud Observability — The Need for Resilience

This IDC Perspective discusses how cloud observability solutions represent the next generation of cloud (infrastructure and applications) monitoring systems that can continuously and comprehensive measure the digital infrastructure of organizations and help deliver consistent service, swift problem resolution, and threat mitigation. By providing detailed intelligence, in-depth insights, and precise directed actions, observability solutions have a positive impact on many IT operational tasks and strategic IT and business management efforts."The need for observability solutions for cloud environments is key in this era of hybrid cloud and multicloud. Organizations must leverage data from applications, platforms, and underlying infrastructure to generate in-depth and forward-looking intelligence and insights that will ensure the precise and proper design, deployment, operation, repair, protection, and evolution of the cloud infrastructure," says Shouvik Nag, senior research analyst, IDC Asia/Pacific.
