J-P Contreras, Director of Service Solutions, Dynatrace
Running a nimble IT operations function in today’s complex world of hybrid cloud computing requires strong capabilities in observability. Observability acts as the starting point for incident identification, triage, and remediation. Best in class Site Reliability teams optimize processes using observability signals to trigger automation and satisfy a variety of use cases to compress, or entirely prevent, outage time.
This presentation will decompose the traditional IT Operations incident management process and present critical observability capabilities using real-world examples. Successful outcomes drive process optimization and allow for better use of organizational resources.
