We are excited to announce that Elastic Observability has earned the Enterprise Management Associates Top 3 Award for Observability in 2021, a recognition of our commitment to empowering customers with products and features that advance digital transformation and solve real-life problems. This award is driven by EMA’s exhaustive, quantitative research into the top challenges and use cases facing developers, DevOps, SREs, IT professionals, and business professionals.

To monitor your Elastic Stack with Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK), you can deploy Metricbeat and Filebeat to collect metrics and logs and send them to the monitoring cluster, as mentioned in this blog. However, this requires understanding and managing the complexity of Beats configuration and Kubernetes role-based access control (RBAC). Now, in ECK 1.7, the Elasticsearch and Kibana resources have been enhanced to let us specify a reference to a monitoring cluster.

Terraform is a popular choice among DevOps and Platform Engineering teams as engineers can use the tool to quickly spin up environments directly from their CI/CD pipelines.

It’s never been more important for government agencies to embrace innovation than over the past 18 months. Citizens are relying on our government more than ever to provide critical services during the global pandemic — from developing COVID-19 vaccines at warp speed to extending benefits to the record number of unemployed Americans. The pandemic not only made government services more critical, it also challenged agencies’ ability to deliver those services.

It is no surprise that monitoring workloads are top of mind for many organizations to ensure a successful customer experience. As our applications become more distributed and cloud-native, we find that monitoring can become more complex. A single user transaction fans out to interact with tens or hundreds of microservices, each one requesting data from backend data stores or otherwise interacting with each other and other parts of your infrastructure.
