Typical deployment models would include Splunk Cloud/Enterprise for security, compliance, and investigations, or Splunk Observability Cloud for powerful in-context debugging and root-cause analysis of complex applications. Logs, in addition to metrics and traces, play a vital role in building observable systems. Building on announcements made back in January, Splunk Log Observer Connect functionality is designed to enable customers to visualize all their data in one place by bringing together the value of Splunk Cloud Platform and Splunk Observability. This is a smart move on Splunk’s part - further investing to drive simplicity for clients - and we expect to see more cloud deployments come on stream in the quarters ahead as the focus on the big three proves its worth. As customer deployments truly embrace a hybrid multi-cloud deployment model, the ability to quickly and easily manage this disparate environment will become more critical. The Data Manager functionality, demoed as part of the day’s main stage presentations, aims to provide an easy-to-manage hybrid cloud control plane of data flowing into Splunk within minutes. This new feature set for Splunk Cloud Platform is designed to deliver a scalable data onboarding experience across AWS and Azure today, with GCP slated to be supported later this summer. The highlights of the 40+ new features in the Splunk 9.0 release were:ĭata Manager for Splunk Cloud Platform. conf was that the company is striving to streamline administration for DevSecOps teams and provide the tools they need to quickly turn data insights into business outcomes. The overarching theme coming out of Splunk. It’s also designed to help customers scale deployments both on-premises and across multiple cloud deployment models. Splunk Cloud Platform and Splunk Enterprise 9.0, is designed to allow customers to access more data sources easily, and find and operationalize insights faster, more securely. Speaking to the press and analyst community ahead of the event, Splunk senior vice president and chief product officer Garth Fort, who has also recently joined Splunk from AWS, described Splunk 9.0 as “the most significant release that we‘ve offered in a long time and we think it’s going to be significant for customers that run on-premises, as well as customers that will run in the cloud.” conf mainstage sessions, the company announced the general availability of Splunk Enterprise 9.0, which replaces the current 8.3 release. The company is calling this still a relatively new approach to its commercial engagement with clients ‘workload pricing.’Īs part of the Splunk. Splunk is making this pivot to the cloud not only on a technology axis, but also through reimagining its pricing approach, transitioning from an ingestion-based model to one where pricing corresponds to the value of the data.

The company is also looking to ingest new types of cloud data from AWS S3 images, in an attempt to make the software more pervasively deployed and used by its ever-growing client base. However, Splunk’s pivot to the cloud is wider than just where the Splunk instance is deployed. With the pervasiveness of the public cloud as the default model for many of Splunk’s customers, the company is making an unsurprising pivot to a public cloud-based model. Splunk has largely built its impressive growth on managing on-premises infrastructure, with its customers deploying a Splunk premise within the confines of their own datacenters. Like most events, the annual pilgrimage has been on hiatus for the last couple of years, and it was clear that everyone was glad to have the chance to be back in person. conf conference is a practitioner-focused event, the annual gathering of developers and data scientists who have powered the early chapters of the company’s growth. My colleague Daniel Newman recently interviewed Steele for the Six Five Summit so I won’t rehash their conversation here, rather I plan to focus on the pivot the business is making to the cloud and the focus on Platform both from an offering and strategy perspective. After more than 19 years at Proofpoint, Steele has come in to take Splunk to the next level of its growth journey. conf conference was incoming CEO Gary Steele’s first major event appearance following his joining the company in early April of this year. conf Recap: Platform and Cloud Are the FutureĪnalyst Take: Splunk’s.
