In this article, we highlight the practical value of Instana’s causal AI-based RCI methods by citing real-life examples and putting Instana’s RCI within the broader context of available monitoring and observability tools.

Cloud Pak for AIOps makes the job of an SRE (and application developer) easier and allows them to focus more on proactively avoiding incidents and providing automation.

Observability vs. monitoring is not an either-or proposition. Observability has certainly evolved from monitoring, but has taken a big step forward. Based on the telemetry data, monitoring tells you what’s wrong whereas observability tells you why something is wrong. In this article, I explore observability from an application developer perspective, focusing on what challenges developers might be facing. I also show how we can simplify and streamline the work, with an enterprise-grade full-stack observability platform, like Instana, which is a key product in IBM’s AIOps platform.

Because developers are increasingly responsible for more of the application lifecycle thanks to modern DevOps best practices, teams must instrument their systems to be highly observable. The combination of Instana, Turbonomic, and IBM Cloud Pak for AIOps provides an end-to-end set of observability capabilities, making it possible to automate large parts of the incident-management process, reducing costs, and improving uptime and availability for your deployments.

This article explains the capabilities of IBM Instana to automatically collect observability metrics, traces, and events from microservices deployed public clouds, as well as on-premises, to provide full visibility into the performance of individual components and applications as a whole.

Optimize your AWS Cloud resources to meet your application demands, optimize your cloud costs while ensuring the application performance, and run Kubernetes at scale on AWS using IBM Turbonomic.

Learn how you to deploy Turbonomic on an Amazon EKS cluster on AWS, secure it using a certificate issued by the AWS Certificate Manager (ACM), terminate transport layer security (TLS) at the network load balancer (NLB), and access the Turbonomic console through a custom domain that you registered in Amazon Route 53.

In this tutorial, learn how to deploy a basic open source observability stack to monitor application availability using Prometheus, BlackBox Exporter, and Grafana.

A sound understanding of probes will help users deploy, configure, and use Turbonomic in environments with standard and specialized needs. Knowledge of probes can also be of value in real life in debugging Turbonomic, especially issues arising from the formation of Turbonomic’s economy and the control flows during data collection or action executions.
