Grafana Labs has obtained Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High Authorization through Palantir Technologies’ FedStart Program.
Additionally, Grafana Labs has achieved compliance with Impact Level 5 (IL5) requirements, the corresponding authorization for DoD agencies. This is an important milestone that makes enterprise-grade observability accessible to organizations operating in highly regulated environments.
Grafana Labs has achieved a significant milestone with its FedRAMP High Authorization and IL5 compliance, enabling the company to deliver innovative observability solutions that allow government agencies and their commercial partners to better understand and manage their complex systems and infrastructure. Grafana Federal Cloud is a fully managed, highly scalable observability platform, powered by the industry-leading LGTM stack: Grafana Mimir for Prometheus metrics, Grafana Loki for logs, Grafana Tempo for traces, and Grafana, the de facto standard for data visualization.
"Our open source solutions have been used by federal agencies like the Department of Defense for years, but achieving FedRAMP High Authorization and IL5 compliance for our managed solution represents a significant step forward in our federal strategy," said Ash Mazhari, Grafana Labs VP of Corporate Development. "This authorization transforms Grafana from an open source tool to a strategic, managed observability platform for the most sensitive and mission-critical government infrastructure. Our partnership with Palantir accelerates our ability to deliver secure, scalable observability solutions that meet the highest standards of federal compliance and operational excellence.”
Grafana Federal Cloud is now listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace as part of the Palantir Federal Cloud Service, making it accessible to federal agencies and their commercial partners.

For years, the success of DevOps has been measured by how much manual work teams can automate ... I believe that in 2026, the definition of DevOps success is going to expand significantly. The era of automation is giving way to the era of intelligent delivery, in which AI doesn't just accelerate pipelines, it understands them. With open observability connecting signals end-to-end across those tools, teams can build closed-loop systems that don't just move faster, but learn, adapt, and take action autonomously with confidence ...
The conversation around AI in the enterprise has officially shifted from "if" to "how fast." But according to the State of Network Operations 2026 report from Broadcom, most organizations are unknowingly building their AI strategies on sand. The data is clear: CIOs and network teams are putting the cart before the horse. AI cannot improve what the network cannot see, predict issues without historical context, automate processes that aren't standardized, or recommend fixes when the underlying telemetry is incomplete. If AI is the brain, then network observability is the nervous system that makes intelligent action possible ...

Now, with the demands of AI and other modern use cases, logical data management is on the rise, so it's "new" to many. Here, I'd like to introduce you to it and explain how it works ...
