One of the most talked about topics in observability today is centered around the question of how to get more value out of the ever-increasing amount of data collected by agents, collectors, scrapers, and the like. Back in May, we announced Adaptive Metrics, a new feature in Grafana Cloud that allows you to reduce the cardinality of Prometheus metrics and the overall volume and costs of your metrics.

A robust observability strategy forms the backbone of a successful cloud environment. By understanding cloud observability and its benefits, businesses gain the ability to closely monitor and comprehend the health and performance of various systems, applications, and services in use. This becomes particularly critical in the context of cloud computing. The resources and services are hosted in the cloud and accessed through different tools and interfaces.

IDC published a Market Perspective report discussing implementations to leverage Generative AI. The report calls out the Elastic AI Assistant, its value, and the functionality it provides. Of the various AI Assistants launched across the industry, many of them have not been made available to the broader practitioner ecosystem and therefore have not been tested. With Elastic AI Assistant, we’ve scaled out of that trend to provide working capabilities now.

Businesses are increasingly turning to cloud computing to drive innovation, scalability, and cost efficiencies. For many, managing cloud costs becomes a complex and daunting task, especially as organizations scale their cloud infrastructure and workloads. In turn, cloud cost management tools can help teams gain better visibility, control, and cost optimization of their cloud spending. These tools not only provide comprehensive solutions to track and analyze, they also optimize cloud expenses.
