At Google, we believe strongly in an open cloud. We’re continually working to bring you tools for understanding how your applications are performing, whether they run in different projects, organizations, clouds, or even on prem. Monitoring tools like Stackdriver Kubernetes Monitoring, OpenCensus, and Stackdriver APM are designed to help you get visibility into your workloads wherever they run—on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), on-premises or on another cloud platform.
If you’re responsible for application performance and availability, you know how hard it can be to see it through the eyes of your customers and end users. We think that’s really going to change with last week’s introduction of Stackdriver Service Monitoring, a new tool for monitoring how your customers perceive your applications, and that then lets you drill down to the underlying infrastructure when there’s a problem.
