How can continuously querying *Cloud Native Application Observability using Flagger (a feature management tool) give you the key metrics you need to see whether your production environment change was successful?

In this demonstration, see how Flagger—a feature management tool—can continuously query Cloud Native Application Observability for the key metrics you can use to determine whether a change was successful. Use AppDynamics’ free plugin to view these metrics in a Grafana dashboard.

When Cloud Native Application Observability indicates increasing error rates after a change, see how to roll back the change or turn off the feature flag.

As of November 27, 2023, the Cisco Full-Stack Observability (FSO) Platform is now the Cisco Observability Platform, and Cloud Native Application Observability is now Cisco Cloud Observability powered by the Cisco Observability Platform. These name changes better align our products with the Cisco portfolio and with our business strategy.
