Dynatrace expands AI cloud operations with new Azure integration
Dynatrace has launched a direct integration with the new Microsoft Azure SRE Agent and unveiled a next-generation cloud operations solution, extending its AI-driven observability and automation capabilities deeper into the Microsoft Azure ecosystem.
Azure integration
The collaboration combines Dynatrace's platform with Microsoft's Azure SRE Agent. The integration leverages artificial intelligence to enhance proactive issue detection and automated remediation for cloud environments. Dynatrace is the first observability platform to be directly integrated with the Azure SRE Agent, providing customers the ability to identify and resolve problems more efficiently in complex IT infrastructures.
The solution provides real-time analytics and continuous monitoring, correlating Dynatrace's contextual observability with Azure's telemetry. It automates routine runbook actions and diagnostic workflows, aiming to reduce recovery time and allow IT teams to direct their focus to higher-value activities.
"The AI capabilities jointly delivered by Dynatrace and Microsoft take our customers one step closer to driving autonomous operations across their complex environments. With continuous, automatic real-time insights and analysis, teams have more time to focus on driving innovation," said Scott Hunter, VP, Product Management of Core AI & Engineering, Microsoft.
Expanded observability
The company's new cloud operations solution for Azure is intended to give enterprise customers a comprehensive overview of their cloud environments, with full-stack visibility across hybrid and multicloud deployments. The enhancements are designed to support both Agentic and Generative AI initiatives, providing expanded telemetry and metadata collection from Azure services.
Platform teams can use the expanded visibility for proactive management of their environments. Features include auto-prevention-where health alerts and warning signals enable users to address issues before they develop further; auto-remediation-where automation helps mitigate incidents without manual intervention; and auto-optimisation-where assessments of resource usage are designed to improve efficiency and performance.
Automation and efficiency
The integration's automated operations capabilities are built to streamline problem-solving within complex infrastructure. By constantly analysing both real-time and historical data, the platform aims to reveal early indicators of system failures, intended to help teams prevent customer-impacting incidents altogether.
The integration also offers remediation hints and facilitates accelerated incident resolution. This approach is positioned to help organisations drive down operational costs and outages while supporting cost-efficient infrastructure management on Azure.
"Enterprises today are operating in increasingly complex cloud environments, where disparate systems and lack of visibility can hinder innovation. Customers need more than alerts - they need AI that acts. This integration strengthens Dynatrace's vision for agentic AI, delivering intelligent, automated observability across the Microsoft ecosystem, and helps enterprises not only identify issues, but automate remediation at scale," said Steve Tack, Chief Product Officer, Dynatrace.
Cloud adoption
The ability to automate the majority of cloud operations tasks is seen as a benefit to organisations accelerating AI adoption and cloud transformation in line with Gartner forecasts of global AI spending reaching nearly USD $1.5 trillion in 2025.
"We're pleased to collaborate with Dynatrace to bring the powerful Dynatrace AI engine and advanced observability capabilities to Microsoft Azure customers. By integrating these innovations with Azure, we believe organisations can accelerate their cloud transformation, simplify operations, and achieve new levels of performance and reliability. This partnership will help empower our customers to fully leverage cloud and AI to drive meaningful business outcomes," said Heather Deggans, Vice President, Americas SDC Sales, Microsoft.
Early access
The new Dynatrace cloud operations solution for Microsoft Azure is currently in preview, with broader availability expected at a later date. Existing customers can register to participate in early testing.
