As another year at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon (CNC) draws to a close, the latest installment in Chicago might be one of our favorite ones so far! With talks having an ever greater focus on the impact of sustainability and inclusion within the community, we loved getting involved in the conversation about how we can make the cloud a better solution for all.

Virtana is proud to announce a series of new capabilities focused on empowering our customers with advanced AI-driven capabilities, enhanced user interfaces, and deeper integrations, all aimed at optimizing application and infrastructure observability. Let’s dive into these innovations and see how they revolutionize the way IT professionals interact with their environments.
