OpsRamps announces a 14-day free trial of its platform.
The trial version combines discovery, monitoring, alerting, and dashboarding for cloud infrastructure services in a frictionless, self-service solution that delivers results in less than one hour.
The OpsRamp free trial is perfect for cloud operators and cloud engineers in mid-to-large enterprises (500+ employees) who need a modern IT infrastructure monitoring solution for cloud and cloud native environments.
The trial version includes:
- Preloaded Google Cloud Platform resources: Users can choose to onboard their own environment for real-time insights, or get started fast with our pre-provisioned GCP infrastructure that’s ready to use.
- Guided and automated onboarding: The OpsRamp onboarding wizard delivers auto monitoring for cloud services, containers, and Linux servers, ensuring rapid time-to-value for cloud discovery and onboarding.
- Cloud and cloud native monitoring: Cloud operators can onboard and track the health and performance of their cloud infrastructure, including 160+ cloud services across Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. The free trial also can monitor performance of on-prem Kubernetes clusters as well as managed Kubernetes environments such as Azure Kubernetes Service, Google Kubernetes Engine, or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service. IT teams can also unify their metrics with long-term data retention support for Prometheus monitoring.
- Customizable Dashboards: Cloud infrastructure teams can build customizable dashboards to track the metrics that they truly care about. Operators can extract relevant insights from a time-series database using Prometheus Query Language (PromQL). Dashboards currently support time series, single value, image, and text data for granular performance insights.
- Alerting: Cloud operators can create centralized alert definitions that spell out warning and critical thresholds for a metric. They can then filter by key tags in the metrics, configure a threshold, and build routing policies to properly escalate that alert.
In less than 20 minutes of registering for the trial, users can onboard their cloud resources, access their first metrics and alerts, and track the performance of their cloud resources through out-of-the-box dashboards. They can also invite members of their organization to participate.
Users who love the free trial solution will be prompted to upgrade to the paid version which will allow them to transition their existing resources without any friction.
“For too long, IT operations management vendors have made the process of choosing and using their solutions a cumbersome process. Buyers have been confronted with expensive, patched-together solutions that require lengthy deployment cycles along with long-term maintenance contracts,” said Michael Fisher, Director of Product Management at OpsRamp. “We are applying a new, DevOps-like model to cloud ops management built around ease-of-set up and ease-of-use. We think IT operators will opt for a modern solution that allows them to discover, monitor and manage their cloud and container environments in a matter of minutes.”
The free trial also provides OpsRamp’s reseller partners an easy, on-demand way to showcase OpsRamp’s value to their enterprise customers with an innovative cloud monitoring solution.

Two years ago, almost every customer conversation about AI started with the same questions: Which model should we use? What can it do? Is it ready for the enterprise? Today, those discussions have moved on. CIOs are far more interested in how to govern AI, integrate it with existing systems, prepare their workforce and make it part of everyday operations. The challenge is no longer to prove that AI can deliver value. It's instead about how to embed AI into the business in a way that's secure, scalable and delivers measurable outcomes ...
Two things happened to production incidents between 2023 and now, and they did not happen at the same speed. The first is that a class of dependency that barely existed three years ago now accounts for one incident in ten. Incidents disclosed by AI model and AI application providers rose from 1.7% of all disclosed unplanned incidents in 2023 to 10.7% in 2026 year to date, roughly a sixfold rise; that counts only incidents at AI companies themselves, so the true share is higher. The second is that the time to close an incident has not come down ...
When an AI assistant gives an incomplete or incorrect answer, teams often blame the model. They adjust prompts, switch models, increase context windows or test a new retrieval strategy. However the model may not be a problem. In many enterprise AI workflows, the problem begins inside the document-ingestion pipeline ...
If you talk to any security or observability teams right now, they're all fighting the same fire: their tooling was built to ingest X, but their sources are pumping Y and soon to be doing Z. The knee-jerk reaction is always the same: we need more platform. However, this reaction is wrong. Let me explain why, because the solution to this problem is foundational, not financial. Instead of hurling yet more money at the problem, make sure you've done what's needed upstream ...
Rapid AI adoption and the unique ways AI workloads operate is redefining the scope and structure of what these teams must deliver. This shift is forcing organizations to rethink how they manage scale, automation, and control, according to The State of SRE and Platform Engineering 2026, a new report from Dynatrace ...
AI is usually talked about as a software tool, but it also depends heavily on the network behind it. Whether a company is using AI for chatbots, automation, monitoring, analytics, or employee support, all of that information has to move across the network in a reliable and secure way. That means AI is not just an application decision. It is also an infrastructure decision. Before organizations rush into AI, they should ask a simple question: Is our network ready to support it? ...
Enterprise AI often lacks governed access to where business processes actually execute. Without that access, AI agents may be able to reason, but they cannot operate reliably across enterprise workflows. For AI agents to effectively carry out workflows, they will require integration-layer context and controls. Organizations can implement these prerequisites by providing AI with managed access to the middleware layer ...
Enterprise networks rarely behave the same way for very long. A routing adjustment in one region may unexpectedly alter application performance in another. A cloud migration may introduce hidden dependencies that go unnoticed until an outage occurs. All the while, the network is managed by several different teams, each of whom use different tool sets — and as a result, have different views of the network ... There’s usually an engineer who remembers why traffic fails over a certain way between sites, or which transparent firewall was added where. The problem is that human memory cannot scale alongside enterprise-scale networks ...
Ask an infrastructure team how confident they are in their ability to govern AI, and most will tell you they've got it handled. A recent survey of 406 IT decision-makers and platform engineering leaders found 86% expressing exactly that confidence. Ask the same group whether they have a formal written AI governance policy, and the number drops to 30%, according to Spacelift's Infrastructure Automation Report ...
