First question: What does observability in DevOps mean to you?

That is a huge question :) I see it as an evolution of monitoring. Which has always been a crucial aspect of fast moving #DevOps environments.

Observability is the culmination of DevOps "measure everything", it helps drive decisions be it business, IT or monitoring based on all that rich data that your systems generate #DevOps #SKILupDay #Observability

@DObservability in DevOps is a state of being for applications, pipelines and infrastructures in which information and insights that are important to customers and stakeholders are visible and actionable.EVOPSINST

Observability is about understanding what are systems failure modes, how data and insights can be leveraged to iterate and improve the system #DevOps #Skilupday

Telemetry everywhere means we can respond to problems better but also that our work is more visible and we can extend this to value realisation

unfortunately the term " #Observability " has been a members only club. But that is our fault - we need to speak about it in terms of how do you keep pace with modern app velocity.
Alex Mercado
@Observability, a more recent addition to the engineering lexicon, speaks to this need, and refers to the monitoring, tracking, and triaging of incidents to prevent downtime.DEVOPSINST

First and foremost #observability means we can 'see' something. That in itself is difficult for some organisations to provide the right level of #visibility needed.

#Observability is what you can within the system without getting inside and make informed decision outside. #devops

@simonejomoore How's the storm? @lynxman can hear it over here!
Peter Maddison
For me it is can we see and measure how work flows through our systems. Are they observable? Do we have gaps?

@BealHelen Brewing strongly. Windows/doors blowing open, you can feel the electricity and pressure building.

Have to remember observability not just as technical but observing and measuring human behavior

- In a failure mode - figuring out what's going on just by looking at the outputs: that’s when we need Observability.
