Monitor your Microsoft Azure VMs featuring Ampere Altra Arm-based CPUs with Datadog

Microsoft Azure has introduced new virtual machines powered by Ampere Altra Arm-based processors to provide efficient and cost-effective processing power. These VMs are designed to improve performance and reduce costs for scale-out and cloud-native workloads. Datadog, a monitoring service, can be used to gain full visibility into both Arm- and x86-powered Azure infrastructure, enabling users to evaluate performance and ensure successful migration of workloads. The integration provides out-of-the-box visualization of resource usage across the entire environment, as well as support for the Datadog Agent on both architectures. Additionally, Datadog APM allows for monitoring of end-to-end traces from Arm-hosted services to ensure proper handling of demand and expected performance boosts.
