An Intellyx Brain Candy Update
When we last covered Chronosphere in November 2019, it was newly out of stealth mode with its commercial cloud-native monitoring solution it built on the open source product M3 out of Uber.
Today, Chronosphere’s offers a complete monitoring-as-a-service offering for organizations that have outgrown the popular open source Prometheus monitoring tool for Kubernetes.
Chronosphere’s most important differentiator is the fine-grained policy controls that enable operators to configure how the tool stores archived monitoring data.
Since cloud-native environments generate massive quantities of telemetry, such policy controls are essential for balancing the cost and compliance requirements for archiving monitoring data.
Chronosphere also supports multicloud environments, allowing operators to store monitoring data separately from their Kubernetes deployments for added reliability.
