Topic: Monitoring in Azure Using Terraform
In the last year or two, a lot has changed in Azure regarding monitoring. Agents have changed, and some agents are being deprecated. The way we set up monitoring has changed drastically. Tim will go over these changes for the majority of his presentation, with a small portion focusing on Terraform. Tim will cover monitoring basics in the new landscape, considering all of the changes that Microsoft has made in Azure. Tim has deployed and configured an active monitoring solution in a Hub and Spoke configuration using Terraform. Come see these changes, and hopefully, it will be a learning experience for new Azure DevOps admins as well as seasoned Azure DevOps admins.
