Description

Cloud observability is complex and costly due to the use of hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure as well as various Azure tools, hampering IT teams’ ability to monitor and analyze issues. The authors distill their years of experience with Microsoft to share the strategic insights and practical skills needed to optimize performance, ensure reliability, and navigate the dynamic landscape of observability on Azure. You’ll get an in-depth understanding of cloud observability and Azure Monitor basics, before getting to grips with the configuration and optimization of data sources and pipelines for effective monitoring. You’ll learn about advanced data analysis techniques using metrics and the Kusto Query Language (KQL) for your logs, design proactive incident response strategies with automated alerts, and visualize reports via dashboards. Using hands-on examples and best practices, you’ll explore the integration of Azure Monitor with Azure Arc and third-party tools, such as Datadog, Elastic Stack, or Dynatrace. You’ll also implement artificial intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) and secure monitoring for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, aligned with emerging trends. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to develop robust and cost-optimized observability solutions for monitoring your Azure infrastructure and apps using Azure Monitor.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
