Virtualization can be a key player in your process’ performance, and Dynatrace has built-in integrations to bring metrics about the Cloud Infrastructure into your Dynatrace environment. And don’t worry if you’re on a different cloud platform, you can use a custom ActiveGate plugin to get insights into your virtualization.

Today we have a wealth of tools, both OSS and commercial, all designed for cloud-native environments. To improve availability, we designed systems where components could fail separately and avoid single points of failure. There is a downside to fetching this data on-demand: this adds latency to the first request to a cluster.

Many of those failure scenarios can be anticipated beforehand, but many more are unknown at design and build time. We knew that designing APIs was a very important task as we’d only have one chance to get it right. For some time now, support for encryption has been integrated at the design phase of each new service.
