Below the waterline, a mass of hidden costs can lurk, which can significantly affect the total cost of ownership. In this blogpost we will cover the analysis of two traditional monitoring domains, Open Source observability and Commercial Centralized observability solutions, focusing the direct and indirect impacts when implementing these solution.

We are always trying to lower the barrier to entry when it comes to monitoring and observability and one place we have consistently witnessed some pain from users is around adopting and approaching configuration management tools and practices as your infrastructure grows and becomes more complex. To that end, we have begun recently publishing our own little example ansible project used to maintain and manage the servers used in our public Machine Learning Demo room.
