Whether its Kubernetes or Red Hat® OpenShift®, the IBM® Instana® platform goes wherever you go. We’re excited to announce support for hosting Instana on-premises on Red Hat OpenShift.

The Instana on-premises observability backend empowers system administrators with the complete suite of features available in the IBM Instana Observability platform while also maintaining full data custody and avoiding potentially expensive data transmission. The Instana platform already supports a seamless installation process in Kubernetes using helm. We can now offer a similar seamless experience for Red Hat OpenShift.

Red Hat OpenShift provides an enterprise-ready and fully supported Kubernetes container platform. See the latest versions supported by Instana here.

To install the Instana backend, no special steps are needed, just follow the installation steps to install the Kubernetes operator in your Red Hat OpenShift cluster.

Observing Camunda environments with IBM Instana Business Monitoring

3 min read - Organizations today struggle to detect, identify and act on business operations incidents. The gap between business and IT continues to grow, leaving orgs unable to link IT outages to business impact.  Site reliability engineers (SREs) want to understand business impact to better prioritize their work but don’t have a way of monitoring business KPIs. They struggle to link IT outages to business impacts because data is often siloed and knowledge is tribal. It forces teams into a highly reactive mode…

4 min read - For a long time, there wasn’t a good standard definition of observability that encompassed organizational needs while keeping the spirit of IT monitoring intact. Eventually, the concept of “Observability = Metrics + Traces + Logs” became the de facto definition. That’s nice, but to understand what observability should be, you must consider the characteristics of modern applications: Changes in how they’re developed, deployed and operated The blurring of lines between application code and infrastructure New architectures and technologies like Docker,…

Debunking observability myths – Part 5: You can create an observable system without observability-driven automation

3 min read - In our blog series, we’ve debunked the following observability myths so far: Part 1: You can skip monitoring and rely solely on logs Part 2: Observability is built exclusively for SREs Part 3: Observability is only relevant and beneficial for large-scale systems or complex architectures Part 4: Observability is always expensive In this post, we'll tackle another fallacy that limits the potential of observability—that you can create an observable system without observability driven by automation. Why is this a myth? The notion that…

Top 8 APM metrics that IT teams use to monitor their apps

5 min read - A superior customer experience (CX) is built on accurate and timely application performance monitoring (APM) metrics. You can’t fine-tune your apps or system to improve CX until you know what the problem is or where the opportunities are. APM solutions typically provide a centralized dashboard to aggregate real-time performance metrics and insights to be analyzed and compared. They also establish baselines to alert system administrators to deviations that indicate actual or potential performance issues. IT teams, DevOps and site reliability…
