The future of IT is hybrid. On-premises infrastructures and public cloud environments such as AWS, Azure and GCP are increasingly forming an integrated whole. As a result, modern monitoring must also be hybrid. To address this need, Checkmk GmbH introduced the Cloud Edition of its Checkmk monitoring solution today. Customers can use it to seamlessly and automatically monitor both their on-premises and public cloud environments and benefit from higher performance, robustness and security. Checkmk Cloud Edition is specifically designed for dynamic and cloud-based IT scenarios, such as monitoring managed cloud services (Kubernetes, databases, serverless functions). The Cloud Edition builds on the strengths and developments of the Enterprise Edition, which also receives numerous additional enhancements in today’s 2.2 release.
