Datadog now supports OpenStack monitoring

OpenStack is an open-source cloud computing software platform primarily deployed as infrastructure-as-a-service. It was developed by Rackspace and NASA and has high-profile supporters such as Google, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and Intel. The platform aims to provide an open alternative to cloud providers like AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, and Joyent. OpenStack features a modular architecture with 16 services, including Nova (computing controller) and Neutron (network management module). Datadog's integration provides access to metrics from these components, enabling better coordination of load across the infrastructure and proper tuning of nodes. The integration also allows for visualization, aggregation, and correlation of metrics with other systems or software in a stack, as well as automatic detection of outliers and anomalies.
