Nobl9 introduced a comprehensive integration for Nobl9 Reliability Center with Microsoft Azure Monitor.
Nobl9 Reliability Center is a single source of truth for the reliability of an organization’s internal, customer-facing, and mission-critical software. With the new integration, customers can create Service Level Objectives (SLOs) based on Azure Monitor data, quickly find and use historical data to select the optimal SLO targets, and use the full potential of Azure Monitoring metrics to simplify SLO creation and management.
“Azure is dedicated to helping our customers build the most reliable and easily managed solutions in the cloud. The collaboration between Nobl9 and Azure Monitor aims to empower organizations to enhance reliability and operational efficiency,” said Hong Gao, Partner Product Manager, Azure at Microsoft. “Furthermore, this partnership elevates customer experiences by efficiently managing the entire lifecycle of reliability, ultimately ensuring the fulfillment of customer commitments."
Nobl9 Reliability Center covers the entire observability ecosystem, and helps customers understand their software reliability. With the integration with Azure Monitor, Nobl9 can provide customers with an end-to-end experience allowing them to discover, write/author, calibrate and deploy SLOs with speed and ease. New benefits allow customers to:
- Metrics Discovery - Simplify creation of Azure Monitor SLOs based on existing Azure resources with a few clicks
- Pre-fabricated Reliability Goals - Prewritten SLOs with smart defaults common to infrastructure use cases on Azure, providing out-of-the-box reliability objectives
- Easy Customization & Deployment - Nobl9 SLI Analyzer retrieves historical reliability data from Azure Monitor which lets you calibrate reliability targets to specific customer needs.
“We went further in our integration with Azure Monitor than any other data source,” said Brian Singer, co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Nobl9. “We’re showcasing our new metrics discovery capability that lets customers quickly and accurately create useful SLOs based on data and resources they already have in their cloud environment with just a few clicks.”
Nobl9 Reliability Center connects the business and user context of SLOs to an organization’s existing workflow. By integrating with more than 50 popular DevOps, observability and incident management tools, Nobl9 Reliability Center provides users with a single source of truth for all software reliability data in context - including metrics, events, logs, traces (MELT), alerts, incidents, releases, rollbacks, runbooks, and other documentation. This granular view allows users to quickly understand the reliability of their software and operations – allowing them to make key business decisions in real-time about the resiliency of their system.

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
