In theCUBE Research’s Application Development and Modernization Day 2 Operations research survey, we examined how enterprises are managing observability, application reliability, AI-powered operations, and future investment strategies.

Results show strong momentum: nearly all organizations are giving cloud and application monitoring top priority, SLO tracking is now almost universal, and AIOps is quickly moving from experimental to necessary. Over 85% plan near- or mid-term investments in observability and AI-driven operations, with 61% already exploring new tools. The shift from reactive monitoring to proactive, AI-enhanced operations is evident.
