Datadog announced its status as a Microsoft partner within the Azure Cloud Adoption Framework.
Backed by the framework—which provides organizations migrating to Azure with recommended tools, best practices and documentation—Azure customers can now leverage Datadog’s monitoring and security capabilities to accelerate their adoption of the cloud with confidence.
“The Azure Cloud Adoption Framework gives companies the roadmap they need to successfully migrate their applications to the cloud. I’m proud to welcome Datadog to this program as a trusted partner in helping companies plan, monitor and accelerate their cloud journeys,” said Madhan Arumugam Ramakrishnan, VP of Microsoft Cloud for Industry, ISV Engineering and Architecture.
“Datadog integrates with the full suite of Azure services and provides the critical monitoring and security capabilities that organizations need in order to successfully migrate to the cloud quickly,” said Ilan Rabinovitch, SVP of Product and Community at Datadog. “As a Cloud Adoption Framework partner, Azure customers know they can rely on Datadog to deliver deep visibility into their cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments that will help them move faster.”
Datadog is already available natively within the Azure portal and integrates with all Azure services—more than 100 in total—in order to provide essential capabilities, including: Out-of-the-box dashboards and dedicated visualizations that deliver immediate overviews of the status of Azure environments; Support for monitoring both legacy systems and modern dynamic compute environments like Azure Kubernetes Service; UX monitoring for testing impact on customer experience during and after a migration; Visibility into every layer of the stack, from the application to the underlying infrastructure, which reduces time to resolution when troubleshooting an outage or performance issue.

New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
When most people think about cybersecurity, they picture firewalls, encryption, and access controls — technical tools designed to protect systems and data. But beneath the technology lies a deeper set of principles about trust, decision-making, and resilience ... The best leaders don't eliminate risk. They manage it intelligently. And in many ways, cybersecurity offers a surprisingly useful playbook for doing exactly that ...
Many organizations assumed their infrastructure strategy was settled. It had been implemented, optimized and built into long-term plans. Recent changes in technology and vendor consolidation are forcing a second look. Cloud outages and licensing changes have exposed how much dependency exists on a small number of platforms. As a result, organizations are reevaluating whether those decisions still hold up under current conditions ...

For years, production operations teams have treated alert fatigue as a quality-of-life problem: something that makes on-call rotations miserable but isn't considered a direct contributor to outages. That framing doesn't capture how these systems fail, and we now have data to show why. More importantly, it's now clear alert fatigue is a symptom of a deeper issue: production systems have outgrown the current operational approaches ...
I was on a customer call last fall when an enterprise architect said something I haven't been able to shake. Her team had just spent four months trying to swap one AI vendor for another. The original plan said three weeks. "We didn't switch vendors," she told me. "We rebuilt half our integrations and discovered what we'd actually been depending on." Most enterprise leaders don't expect that to be the experience ...
