As enterprises expand across AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud, and private cloud platforms, observability becomes exponentially harder and more critical. This session provides a practical roadmap for building unified observability in multicloud environments. Attendees will learn architectural patterns, distributed tracing strategies, cross-cloud log analytics, metrics standardization, and AI-driven incident detection. We will explore vendor-neutral tools (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana), cloud-native services, and reference architectures that ensure reliability, performance, and security across heterogeneous cloud ecosystems.

Multicloud adoption is accelerating, driven by the need for resiliency, cost optimization, workload portability, and regulatory flexibility. But with this shift comes a new operational challenge i.e. visibility fragmentation. Each cloud provides its own observability ecosystem, CloudWatch, Stackdriver, Azure Monitor, Oracle Logging, and more, thus creating silos that make troubleshooting slow, multi-step, and error-prone.

The session will addresses the central question: How do we achieve consistent, real-time observability across multiple clouds?

The talk will introduce a vendor-neutral observability blueprint built on open standards such as OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and OpenMetrics, enabling consistent instrumentation across clouds. We will discuss architecture patterns for distributing traces, correlating logs, unifying metrics, and integrating cloud-specific telemetry into a single, coherent view. Participants will learn how to design cross-cloud telemetry pipelines, evaluate ingestion strategies, and leverage AI/ML for anomaly detection and performance optimization.
The session will include reference architectures, real-world use cases, and examples of multicloud observability maturity, from basic log aggregation to predictive analytics and self-healing systems. We also cover governance, data retention strategies, cost considerations, and common pitfalls in multicloud observability deployments.

Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how to build a scalable, resilient observability platform that spans AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud, and on-premise systems.
