said Matthias Scharer, VP of Business
Operations, Dynatrace. “As a consequence,
IT ecosystems are undergoing a constant
transformation. The transition to virtualised
infrastructure was followed by the migration
to the cloud, which has since been
supplanted by the trend towards multi-cloud.
CIOs have now realised their legacy apps
weren’t built for today’s digital ecosystems
and are rebuilding them in a cloud-native
architecture. These rapid changes have
given rise to hyper-scale, hyper-dynamic and
hyper-complex IT ecosystems, which makes
it extremely difficult to monitor performance
and find and fix problems fast.”
The research further identified the
challenges that organisations find most
difficult to overcome as they transition to
multi-cloud ecosystems and cloud native
architecture. Key findings include:
• 76% of CIOs say multi-cloud makes it
especially difficult and time-consuming to
monitor and understand the impact that

cloud services have on the user experience
• 72% are frustrated that IT has to spend
so much time setting-up monitoring
for different cloud environments when
deploying new services
• 72% say monitoring the
performance of microservices in real-
time is almost impossible
• 84% of CIOs say the dynamic nature
of containers makes it difficult to
understand their impact on
application performance
• Maintaining and configuring performance
monitoring (56%) and identifying service
dependencies and interactions (54%)
are the top challenges CIOs identify with
managing microservices and containers.
“For cloud to deliver on expected benefits,
organisations must have end-to-end visibility
across every single transaction,” continued
Mr Scharer. “However, this has become very
difficult because organisations are building
multi-cloud ecosystems on a variety of
services from AWS, Azure, Cloud Foundry and
SAP among others. Added to that, the shift
to cloud native architectures fragments the
application transaction path even further.
