It combines ideas from observability, control systems, and network scheduling to automate service protection and workload prioritization.

Type of user that benefits from the offer:

• Infrastructure Teams
• Platform Teams
• Site Reliability Teams (SRE)

Customer need or pain that the offer addresses:

Ensuring the reliable operation of microservices is challenging due to metastable failures like cascading overloads, retry storms, and death spirals. These can cause services to enter a permanent state of failure requiring manual intervention. Traditional mitigation strategies like circuit breakers and auto-scaling often fall short. Aperture provides the observability-driven automation needed for more reliable microservice operation.

Setup:

• Sign up for the Aperture Cloud
• Install the Aperture Agent from Azure marketplace
