AppDynamics Featured as APM Partner in MS Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure

AppDynamics announced its listing on Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) for Azure customers.

The Cloud Adoption Framework brings together cloud adoption best practices and preferred solutions to help shape technology and business strategies for enterprises throughout their cloud adoption journeys. With AppDynamics’ monitoring solutions, enterprises building modern cloud applications or migrating their existing applications to Azure environments will be able to do so with immense confidence by gaining business-critical insights and visibility.

“Businesses accelerating their digital transformation, especially in response to the pandemic, need a strong cloud environment to support their development without disruption, which is where the power of AppDynamics and Microsoft Azure comes in,” said Vipul Shah, CPO, AppDynamics. “AppDynamics’ inclusion in Microsoft’s CAF enforces our shared mission for seamless cloud adoption for enterprise organizations.”

With AppDynamics, Azure users can achieve the following:

- Migrate applications to Azure 30%+ faster with automatically generated application topology maps, business correlation, resource utilization tracking, and the ability to compare pre- and post-migration benefits.

- Monitor Azure-based applications including microservices, Kubernetes clusters, and serverless implementations.

- Optimize applications in Azure with business performance monitoring for clear, understandable correlations between the quality of performance with the end users’ experiences for speedy MTTR.

“Enterprise organizations are migrating to the cloud faster than ever, and the stakes have never been higher,” said John Nisi, GM, US Cloud, Microsoft Corp. “AppDynamics provides a powerful, easy-to-use platform and business performance monitoring solution designed for complex, distributed architectures. Our Cloud Adoption Framework features a mixture of 1st and 3rd party solutions to help Microsoft Azure customers de-risk and accelerate their cloud adoption journeys.”

Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months.

Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...

For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines.
