Bindplane announced the general availability of Fleets and Blueprints, two new features designed to help enterprises build, own, and maintain best-practice telemetry pipelines at scale.
The announcement comes as Bindplane prepares to showcase its capabilities at KubeCon, where the company will demonstrate how these innovations empower organizations to escape vendor lock-in and take full control of their OpenTelemetry-based data collection infrastructure.
Fleets and Blueprints build on Bindplane's earlier innovations, including its Bring Your Own Collector (BYOC) and OpenTelemetry Distribution Builder, to address a critical challenge facing enterprises today: the need to manage significant increases in telemetry volume and costs while maintaining flexibility in rapidly changing technology environments.
Fleets allows users to group agents independently of configurations, making it easy to apply shared configurations to many agents at once. This enables scalable rollouts, simplifies large-scale agent management, and provides better visibility into deployment health. By separating grouping from configuration, Fleets give teams more flexible control over how agents are organized and updated. For platform teams, Fleets can be managed in the UI or entirely via CLI or API, enabling automation for large-scale rollouts across Kubernetes and hybrid infrastructure.
Blueprints are pre-built processor bundles for OpenTelemetry pipelines. Each Blueprint performs common data transformations, for example, JSON parsing, timestamp normalization, or Windows event standardization, and can be dropped into a pipeline with a single click. This turns hours of repetitive configuration work into seconds. Blueprints are stored as reusable processor bundles and can be versioned, shared, and modified as code.
Together, these features address the dual challenge of managing large agent populations through centralized configuration management while eliminating repetitive setup work and standardizing pipelines across environments with minimal effort.
“Our core mission is to end vendor lock-in in observability, enabling all organizations to own their data pipelines, and we’re building the tools to drive this,” commented Mike Kelly, CEO of Bindplane. “Our deep OpenTelemetry expertise helps customers build and maintain pipelines that meet their needs. Along with BYOC, Fleets and Blueprints make this total control of their data collection layer accessible at an enterprise scale.
“Most vendors take control of your telemetry by managing pipelines for you. Bindplane does the opposite. It gives organizations the power to build, run, and own their pipelines directly, with full access to their data and zero dependency on proprietary agents or backends. I’m proud to say that Bindplane is the first OpenTelemetry-based telemetry pipeline to offer unified management of up to one million agents with support for BYOC, enabling complete control of both the collector and the pipeline through a single interface. This is a capability already proven across our customer base, including multiple Fortune 100 companies.”

Pilots are everywhere, stakeholders are seeking results, businesses are pushing for new tools, and IT teams are being asked to make AI secure, reliable, and useful at scale.

It is the file data foundation within ...
Fast or cheap? For most of my career in engineering, speed and quality sat on opposite ends of a seesaw. The "OR" in "fast or cheap" was non-negotiable. It was expected that pushing for faster releases meant that something in quality would give way. Tightening quality controls meant the schedule slipped. Every engineering leader I know has lived some version of that tradeoff ... The seesaw is starting to level out ...

The rapid growth of AI workloads is pushing traditional log management approaches to their limits, according to The State of Log Management 2026 report from Dynatrace.

However, the volume and complexity of AI telemetry are overwhelming legacy tools ...
For years, secure connectivity has relied on a familiar pattern: route traffic back to centralized gateways, inspect it, and then allow access. This model worked when applications lived in a handful of data centers and users were largely confined to offices. That model is now under strain. Applications are distributed across clouds, users connect from everywhere, and real-time workloads demand performance that centralized inspection points struggle to deliver. As traffic volumes grow and latency expectations shrink, routing everything through a small number of control points has become both a performance bottleneck and a resilience risk. The future of secure connectivity requires a different approach ...

Cloud outages are usually described as technical failures. When a service goes down, a dependency breaks, or a region has issues, the focus immediately shifts to infrastructure. But if you look closely at how these incidents actually unfold, the root cause is rarely the technology itself. It is almost always tied to decisions made earlier, during design, implementation, or day-to-day operations. The system behaves the way it was built. The real question is how it was built ...
77% of leaders say their teams need AI skills urgently. 64% say their organization plans to train current employees rather than hire new ones. So far, so reasonable. The part that surprised me is who's been put in charge: 34% of those leaders say IT and engineering own the AI skills mandate. Learning and Development or HR own it at 7% of organizations. That's roughly five-to-one in favor of the people who understand the tools, over the people whose actual job is teaching adults how to learn new ones ...
