Sumo Logic announced a new unified logs and metrics solution for improving customer experience of applications running on Kubernetes and Docker.
Sumo Logic streamlines the data ingestion process using open-source and native integrations widely adopted for Kubernetes and Docker, and provides improved visualization and optimized analytics to show the health of Kubernetes-powered applications. This unified approach gives users full visibility and continuous intelligence into their application and microservices architecture, and helps them quickly identify and troubleshoot issues and improve customer experience.
Today’s modern applications are more like living organisms than the static, monolithic architectures of the past. Microservice architectures and container technologies such as Kubernetes and Docker are part of these new modern applications and are growing in popularity. According to exclusive customer usage data from Sumo Logic, microservices and container adoption is increasing, with 25 percent of cloud customers adopting Docker and around 35 percent of Docker users adopting orchestration solutions like Kubernetes. While microservices and container technologies are helping enterprises adopt multi-cloud services as they seamlessly abstract application from the underlying infrastructures, as new functionality is released, monitoring and troubleshooting of container-based services must adapt as well.
Sumo Logic’s multi-tenant data analytics platform and machine learning capabilities enable organizations to realize their full data insight potential to build, run, secure and manage modern applications, regardless of the underlying infrastructure and technology stack. By expanding native integrations with microservice-based modern applications and container technology, the broader support for Kubernetes provides users with a comprehensive, in-depth, and real-time picture of applications running on Kubernetes – such as services, namespaces, nodes, pods, and containers.
In addition, Sumo Logic provides out-of-the-box data exploration and visualization capabilities to understand the real-time state of their application within Kubernetes.

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 ...
Ask any senior SRE or platform engineer what keeps them up at night, and the answer probably isn't the monitoring tool — it's the data feeding it. The proliferation of APM, observability, and AIOps platforms has created a telemetry sprawl problem that most teams manage reactively rather than architect proactively. Metrics are going to one platform. Traces routed somewhere else. Logs duplicated across multiple backends because nobody wants to be caught without them when something breaks. Every redundant stream costs money ...
80% of respondents agree that the IT role is shifting from operators to orchestrators, according to the 2026 IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous IT from SolarWinds ...
40% of organizations deploying AI will implement dedicated AI observability tools by 2028 to monitor model performance, bias and outputs, according to Gartner ...
Until AI-powered engineering tools have live visibility of how code behaves at runtime, they cannot be trusted to autonomously ensure reliable systems, according to the State of AI-Powered Engineering Report 2026 report from Lightrun. The report reveals that a major volume of manual work is required when AI-generated code is deployed: 43% of AI-generated code requires manual debugging in production, even after passing QA or staging tests. Furthermore, an average of three manual redeploy cycles are required to verify a single AI-suggested code fix in production ...
Many organizations describe AI as strategic, but they do not manage it strategically. When AI plans are disconnected from strategy, detached from organizational learning, and protected from serious assumptions testing, the problem is no longer technical immaturity; it is a failure of management discipline ... Executives too often tell organizations to "use AI" before they define what AI is supposed to change. The problem deepens in organizations where strategy isn't well articulated in the first place ...
Across the enterprise technology landscape, a quiet crisis is playing out. Organizations have run hundreds, sometimes thousands, of generative AI pilots. Leadership has celebrated the proof of concept (POCs) ... Industry experience points to a sobering reality: only 5-10% of AI POCs that progress to the pilot stage successfully reach scaled production. The remaining 90% fail because the enterprise environment around them was never ready to absorb them, not the AI models ...
Today's modern systems are not what they once were. Organizations now rely on distributed systems, event-driven workflows, hybrid and multi-cloud environments and continuous delivery pipelines. While each adds flexibility, it also introduces new, often invisible failures. Development speed is no longer the primary bottleneck of innovation. Reliability is ...
Seeing is believing, or in this case, seeing is understanding, according to New Relic's 2025 Observability Forecast for Retail and eCommerce report. Retailers who want to provide exceptional customer experiences while improving IT operations efficiency are leaning on observability ... Here are five key takeaways from the report ...
