With the majority of the workforce working remotely due to COVID-19, DevOps teams are still focused on delivering reliable, performant services. In these challenging times, ensuring that infrastructure and applications are available at their highest level is even more imperative—and worthy of recognition. We are all in this together, and in the spirit of supporting each other, we are excited to announce our Observability All-Star program.

Logz.io is excited to announce the 2020 Cloud Observability Webinar Series focused on DevOps, Open Source, and Observability! It’s certainly harder to attend interesting events in person these days. However, learning the same content you would at meetups and conferences for delivery of more reliable, performant, and secure services shouldn’t have to be. This series will offer a webinar every Wednesday until the end of June.

In this challenging global environment, we realize many of our customers will work from home for the next several weeks. Thankfully, Logz.io is designed to support distributed teams and work environments, and we wanted to highlight some of the ways you can use the platform both for remote monitoring and to collaborate better with your teams over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.
