OpenStack is enterprise approved. Large companies run applications that generate billions in revenue on top of OpenStack. With the added complexity of now being also responsible for what’s going on under the hood in the cloud platform, it’s getting even more important to have a holistic, clear picture of the health of your application, the underlying infrastructure, as well as the end-user experience. We know that bad application performance is directly related to declining revenue. Can you tell the difference between bad performance of an application and bad performance of a cloud platform, like OpenStack? Both now and in the future application monitoring is going to be a key element. Providing good end user experience will be a deciding factor if your business is successful or not, and the performance of the underlying cloud platform provides a significant contribution. To that end, you need to have monitoring in place that provides insights into OpenStack’s internals and can correlate events from the control plane with events of your applications.
