Datadog Signs Cloud-Computing Partnership With Microsoft

Cloud-computing security and systems-monitoring expert Datadog (NASDAQ: DDOG) just signed a strategic partnership with technology giant Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). The deal makes Datadog's tools available to Microsoft Azure customers as a so-called first-class service. Datadog's Azure partnership will launch to the public in October and will be accepting a small number of preview customers in the meantime.

Datadog's integration includes an automated setup process that makes it easy to deploy a monitoring service for cloud-computing workloads. Since the tools are presented as native products on the Azure platform, enterprise-class customers will find it easy to apply earmarked budgets and prepaid Azure assets to Datadog monitoring.

Azure users can now deploy Datadog to their cloud-based hosts and web applications in minutes. Log files and performance metrics can be sent to the Datadog platform in a couple of clicks. The system provides an easy-to-use control panel for granular control over what Azure assets Datadog should monitor. Many parts of the monitoring setup can be fully automated.
