In this session you will learn how to build and create a cloud platform for your applications that offers observability and monitoring capabilities. You are going to be introduced to the Azure resources for monitoring and operations and learn how to architect the landscape for multiple applications and business domains. Also, we will have a look at instrumenting applications with OpenTelemetry and the various patterns and practices to collect, filter and combine telemetry signals into an observable backplane. Combined with the Azure resources, the outcome is an environment that is capable to host, monitor and operate observable applications. You will see how this can help you in everyday situations in getting insights into and gaining control over your cloud-native applications running in Azure.
