Virtana Acquires OpsCruise To Develop Cloud-Native and Kubernetes Observability Platform

OpsCruise, the only purpose-built cloud-native, and Kubernetes observability platform, have both been acquired by Virtana, the leading provider of IT operations management services that accelerate hybrid, multi-vendor, and multi-cloud infrastructure innovation.

The solution from OpsCruise enables ITOps/DevOps/SRE teams to anticipate performance decline and identify its root cause. This is made possible by OpsCruise's distinctive contextual Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) based behaviour profiling, which works in conjunction with the deep understanding of Kubernetes and popular technologies used in contemporary applications.

Customers may avoid expensive proprietary alternatives by using OpsCruise's fully integrated metrics, logs, traces, flows, and configuration data with top open-source monitoring tools and cloud providers.

By expanding its hybrid coverage to accommodate cloud-native, open-source, containers, and serverless operations, Virtana continues to deliver on its promise to support unified and simpler hybrid infrastructure observability for on-prem, cloud, and edge multi-vendor settings.

OpsCruise was founded in 2018 with a goal to address the difficulties of complexity and cost of managing applications in the cloud. It was co-created by tech entrepreneurs Scott Fulton, Aloke Guha, and Shridhar Venkatraman and The Fabric, a Silicon Valley startup foundry focused on cloud and IoT infrastructure.

Because it "uses Machine Learning profiling to rapidly identify performance issues in Kubernetes and serverless cloud-native environments, allowing IT Ops/SRE teams to more efficiently manage complex modern environments," OpsCruise was recognised a Cool Vendor in Observability by Gartner in 2022.

OpsCruise is used by top companies to address issues like slowdowns, costly proprietary telemetry collection, unexpected dependencies, misconfigurations, and resource saturation across Kubernetes, cloud services, and infrastructure. These companies include Telefonica, Tesla, Avis Car Rental, and United Airlines.
