Great to have IBM Cloud join the crossplane Community — looking forward to an awesome 2021 and continued collaboration with Paolo Dettori Chris Bailey and the IBM team! #kubernetes #cloudnative #devops thenewstack.io/ibm-cloud-adop…

Its official - IBM closed on the acquisition of Instana, a leading enterprise observability and application performance monitoring platform: ibm.com/cloud/blog/ins…

Its amazing to think that Kubernetes has revolutionised the platform, yet is only 7 years old. It also means there are very few technologies that we're born in a post-kubernetes world - of the major observability providers its only Instana

This is super cool work from Tim Condon and Moritz Lang. By adding this to End User Monitoring on the mobile, we have both end-to-end Swift and end-to-end observability.

This research paper, published by #APM Experts, breaks down nine distinct categories of #observability and ranks the capabilities of all vendors within each category and overall. #monitoring #DevOps instana.com/resources/rese…
