Redefining cloud operations: Dynatrace brings intelligence to observability

Managing cloud environments has never been more complex; Dynatrace is redefining cloud operations to make them simple and easy. As organizations adopt hyperscaler technologies and cloud native architectures, traditional monitoring tools fall short, leaving teams with fragmented data, manual troubleshooting, and slow incident resolution. Dynatrace’s newly enhanced AI-powered Cloud Platform Operations for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud eliminates these challenges by unifying all observability signals into a single platform, delivering real-time visibility, proactive insights, and automated remediation. This approach reduces risk, accelerates recovery, and optimizes costs, allowing enterprises to move from reactive firefighting to autonomous cloud operations.

Enterprise cloud has outpaced traditional reactive monitoring. As workloads multiply across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud—and extend into data centers—teams find themselves contending with vast amounts of telemetry, ephemeral infrastructures, and constant change. Visibility is tough; clarity of impact, ownership, and root cause is tougher.

Today’s tech stacks are distributed by design, featuring containers, serverless architectures, managed services, and data planes that can spin up and down in seconds. High-cardinality signals, fragmented logs, and partial traces create blind spots across accounts, subscriptions, and projects. In hybrid setups, network overlays, identity boundaries, and platform services blur the lines between where issues begin and how they propagate.

Organizationally, the challenge is even bigger. Platform, SRE, Dev, SecOps, and FinOps each hold a piece of the truth. However, inconsistent tagging and governance, manual runbooks, and handoffs across time zones can slow MTTR, fuel tool sprawl, and inflate budgets. The goal is to provide clear risk and cost insights, reduce noise, and deliver faster, context-rich answers.

However, visibility alone isn’t enough to achieve this goal. AI-driven context, such as topology-aware analytics, causal correlation, and safe automation, shifts operations from reactive firefighting to proactive prevention that’s aligned with SLOs, compliance, and budgets.

Today, we’re introducing Dynatrace enhanced cloud operations for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, delivering complete visibility across all your cloud and hybrid environments with deeper, actionable insights. If you’re ready to take the guesswork out of monitoring your cloud environments, read on to see how Dynatrace helps you collaborate faster, resolve issues earlier, and run at enterprise scale with confidence.

What is Dynatrace Cloud Platform Operations?

Dynatrace Cloud Platform Operations takes the guesswork out of monitoring by redefining how organizations manage complex cloud environments. By unifying all cloud signals—metrics, logs, and events—into a single AI-powered platform, Dynatrace delivers complete visibility and actionable insights at scale.

Every data point is enriched with context and analyzed by Dynatrace AI, enabling proactive automation and informed decision-making. This ensures faster troubleshooting, better resource efficiency, and simplified onboarding—all without the need for additional infrastructure components.

Organizations eliminate blind spots and accelerate resolution by gaining real-time visibility into the health, performance, and configuration of their cloud resources. This allows them to maintain the correct governance through tag-based control, ownership, and cost allocation, thereby aligning teams while reducing operational noise.

Additionally, the latest advancements in cloud observability provide real-time visibility into resource health, performance, and configurations, allowing teams to act quickly and decisively while reducing the time to resolution.

Start monitoring your cloud environment

Spin up monitoring without spinning up your infrastructure. The new cloud connections are fully managed by Dynatrace and guided by a simple wizard. It gets you from setup to actionable telemetry in minutes; no agents to wrangle, no custom pipelines to maintain.

Once connected, you gain instant visibility across all your cloud environments. Connect your AWS, Azure, or GCP accounts once, and Dynatrace auto‑ingests everything from compute and databases to storage, networking, and security configurations. Platform coverage has been expanded to capture more data types than ever, including metrics for any supported cloud service and a richer set of cloud events, such as hyperscaler‑native security alerts.

The new cloud connections are:

• Secure by design: native authentication offers least‑privilege access and auditable permissions.
• Practitioner‑friendly: a step‑by‑step wizard with built‑in checks and defaults works across accounts and regions.
• Zero overhead: the Dynatrace platform manages the connection end‑to‑end, so you focus on insights, not maintenance.

With all your cloud data unified, Dynatrace automatically applies the tags you already use in your cloud environments, bringing your existing operational model directly into the platform. Your existing cloud tags instantly drive access control, ownership, cost allocation, alert routing, and preventive workflows, with no manual tagging or re‑mapping required. Additionally, tag‑enriched signals keep operations aligned by allowing you to filter everything by owner, app, or environment for precise alert routing and actionable insights. This paves the way for more advanced analytics and clear insight into what’s happening across every environment.

The enhanced cloud ingest not only unifies telemetry and context; it also captures all configuration details (VPCs, load balancers, security groups, subnets, network services, compute metadata, and more). The new Smartscape® uses this information, along with cloud monitoring data, to provide a comprehensive, always-accurate topology of your cloud infrastructure. You can use the new Smartscape app to navigate your cloud topology, visualize dependencies, and eliminate hidden or forgotten resources. Ready-made views for AWS and Azure provide a comprehensive, automatically discovered cloud inventory across services, databases, networking layers, and security controls.

Additionally, you get ready-made dashboards, essential metrics, and expanded cross-cloud visibility, providing you with immediate clarity, especially when issues originate on the provider side, thanks to built-in AWS Health event integration.

All of this comes together in our newly enhanced Clouds app, a shared place for teams to analyze services, metrics, events, and logs. Pre-built dashboards and alerts automatically highlight unhealthy resources, helping teams stay ahead of issues, while the streamlined onboarding process eliminates the need for additional collectors or components. It’s fast, safe, and modern—exactly how cloud onboarding should feel. Ready to see it in action? Keep reading to see the magic.

Transform from reactive monitoring to proactive cloud operations

Dynatrace transformed cloud monitoring into proactive cloud operations by combining AI-powered observability with intelligent automation. This allows organizations to move beyond simply identifying problems to actively solving and preventing problems.

With Dynatrace, you can remediate issues before they impact your users, prevent future issues, and optimize your cloud environments to ensure they operate at maximum efficiency and resiliency.

Prevention
