Kubernetes Monitoring backend 2.2: better cluster observability through new alert and recording rules

We’re excited to announce version 2.2.0 of the backend for our Kubernetes Monitoring solution in Grafana Cloud is now available. The app’s backend is supported by kubernetes-mixin, an open source Prometheus Monitoring Mixin, and this latest version features significant improvements to alert rules and recording rules that will enhance your cluster observability and monitoring experience. There’s a lot to tell you about, so let’s dive in.

Monitor agents built on Amazon Bedrock with Datadog LLM Observability

As large language models (LLMs) grow more powerful, organizations are deploying agentic AI applications to tackle complex, multi-step tasks. With Amazon Bedrock Agents, developers can orchestrate these agents to manage tasks such as triggering serverless functions, calling APIs, accessing knowledge bases, and maintaining contextual conversations—all while breaking down complex user requests or tasks into manageable steps.

Climbing the Security Pyramid: From Awareness to Automation with AI and Observability

Modern threats don't wait. They move fast, hide deep, and often strike without warning. That's why old-school security isn't enough anymore. You need more than firewalls and login rules. You need layers. You need clarity. And most of all, you need speed. This is where the security pyramid comes in. It shows how smart security stacks-from the ground up. It starts with awareness and ends with advanced tools like automation and AI. In this article, we'll break it down step by step-and show how observability and automation help you climb it.

The Fast Path to More Useful Telemetry

Over and over, we’ve seen that teams who invest in adding rich, relevant context to their telemetry end up debugging faster and collaborating more effectively during incidents. Getting meaningful context added can feel like a big cross-team project, but some of the highest-leverage improvements don’t require app code changes or coordination across services.

Observability as Code: Why You Should You Use OaC

Key takeaways In the fast-moving world of CI/CD pipelines, microservice architectures, and container orchestration, software changes rapidly. What exists in a codebase today might be gone next week. At this scale and speed, it’s impossible for development teams to manually track every line of code and every new piece of functionality.

Uptrace v2.0: The Future of Observability is Here

The Uptrace team is thrilled to announce the release of v2.0—our biggest update yet! This release represents a complete reimagining of how observability data should be stored, queried, and managed. With multi-project support, revolutionary JSON-based storage, powerful data transformations, and a host of developer-friendly features, Uptrace v2.0 is designed to scale with your growing infrastructure needs.

How to improve your observability

Coroot was designed to solve the problem of time-consuming root cause analysis. It handles the full observability journey - from collecting telemetry automatically with zero code setup (thanks, eBPF!) to simplifying the role of SREs and DevOps everywhere with instant root cause analysis powered by AI. We also strongly believe that simple observability should be an innovation everyone can afford to benefit from: which is why our software is open source!
