Amit explains AO

Most enterprises have observability tools. What they often lack is a shared view between application and infrastructure teams. When application performance degrades, finding the root cause can be slow because the data lives in separate silos. Virtana brings application observability and infrastructure intelligence together in a single platform, helping teams identify issues faster, collaborate more effectively, and shift from reactive troubleshooting to proactive operations.

AI Won't Replace You. Someone Using It Will.

AI isn’t about replacing engineers. It’s about leverage. The teams that win will be the ones that: Triage incidents faster Correlate signals automatically Reduce manual investigation Automate repetitive operational work In observability, that means asking: AI won’t eliminate expertise, it amplifies it. The real risk isn’t AI taking your job. It’s competitors using AI to operate at a speed and efficiency you can’t match.

What kind of correlations become impossible without depth and breadth?

Most teams don’t have a data problem. They have a correlation problem. When visibility is fragmented:→ Marketing sees conversion drop→ Engineering sees API latency So the wrong call gets made. Example: Checkout drops → pricing gets blamed → discounts applied. Reality: a backend API timeout was killing transactions. That’s what happens when you can’t connect: user impact (what) to system behavior (why)

How is Agentic AI fundamentally different from earlier automation?

Autonomous operations has been the goal for years. But most “automation” never got us there—it just helped teams keep up. Now that’s changing. Agentic AI introduces a fundamentally different model:– Purpose-built agents, not static workflows– Real-time decisioning, not predefined rules– Collaboration across agents, not isolated tasks Instead of automating steps, agentic AI enables systems to **reason, adapt, and act**—at a speed and scale humans simply can’t match. That’s what turns autonomous operations from a long-standing ambition into something actually achievable.

When we say "Observability AI Reckoning," what are we actually talking about?

We’ve spent the last decade collecting more telemetry. Now AI is analyzing it. Here’s the catch: AI needs the full dependency chain to reason correctly. If it sees spans but not storage contention… Services but not Kubernetes scheduling… Frontend metrics but not downstream providers… It will confidently optimize the wrong thing. AI doesn’t lower the need for observability. It raises the standard.
