Managing the cloud application that is the backbone of your business can be quite the challenge. Ensuring successful monitoring in the cloud requires not only preparing your application's code but also understanding the diagnostic settings of all the resources you utilize. This includes not just your app hosting resources but also cloud platform services like file storage, databases, secrets vaults, message brokers, and more – each needing proper configuration. Your application can often feel like a jigsaw puzzle, making it confusing to monitor, manage, and maintain.

Moreover, you must keep an eye on regional outages and data centre issues that might impact your application's service health – all happening somewhere in the cloud. You need to know when something goes awry with your application, sometimes taking automated actions, and other times being alerted into action. The latest advances in Azure Monitoring are making significant strides towards the dream of a simplified, streamlined, and synchronized Azure experience. Application-centric observability is crucial for applications that auto-scale or failover to different geographic regions and for those that are cost-efficient relative to their usage.´

In this session, you will learn how to transform your application from being cloud-blinded to having hawk-like vision!
