Fresh off IPO, Sumo Logic launches Kubernetes and AWS monitoring solutions

Sumo Logic Inc., the technology infrastructure monitoring provider that went public last month, today launched a pair of solutions for tracking the health of Kubernetes and Amazon Web Services environments.

Kubernetes Observability and AWS Observability are built atop Sumo Logic’s flagship Continuous Intelligence Platform product. Each solution consists of a set of monitoring features optimized for a specific use scenario. 

Kubernetes Observability provides visibility into the health of software container environments. The solution automatically instruments Kubernetes clusters, meaning it performs the initial setup that’s needed before monitoring can begin, and then collects logs, metrics, traces and metadata from the environment. This data is visualized in dashboards that administrators can use to keep an eye out for technical issues.

“Sumo Logic enables companies to quickly know the what, where, why and how of these issues in real-time to ensure their customer experiences remain reliable, performant and secure,” said Sumo Logic Chief Executive Officer Ramin Sayar (pictured). 

AWS Observability, the other solution launching into general availability, focuses on AWS environments. It can collect and analyze operational data from EC2 instances, Lambda serverless compute deployments and other key services in the platform. 

The solution “features 40+ dashboards to monitor infrastructure on AWS in a comprehensive and intuitive manner across AWS accounts, regions and resource types down to individual entities,” detailed Bashyam Anant, Sumo Logic’s senior director of product management.

Sumo Logic has an entire lineup of solutions under the Observability brand that focus on various monitoring use cases. The company today also enhanced one of its existing offerings, the Application Observability solution for tracking application health. It added integrations with a pair of open-source monitoring tools called Prometheus and Telegraf that are widely used in the enterprise.

The expansions to the Observability lineup were detailed at Sumo Logic’s virtual Illuminate user conference today. At the event, it also detailed SDO, yet another new solution that represents something of a departure from its core focus on infrastructure and application monitoring.

SDO is a set of features for tracking the efficiency of a company’s software development initiatives. According to Sumo Logic, the tool plugs into a firm’s development tools to shed light on engineer productivity. SDO can measure metrics such as how frequently code is released to production, the percentage of code releases that cause errors and the average amount of time it takes to resolve technical issues.

The updates come less than two months after Sumo Logic listed on the Nasdaq via an initial public offering that brought in $326 million.
