Any reason to use this like in Azure over their cloud native options such as with AKS that has fluentd built into the ama-pod? It already sends logs to Azure Monitor/LogA. Azure Managed Grafana can take in Kusto queries. AMA can monitor VMs. Further you can use DCE/DCRs for custom logs. Azure provides Azure native ElasticSearch too. It seems to own this market.
You can predictably control costs and predict costs with these models.
Agree. Leveraging capabilities provided by cloud vendors is always a good idea. However, as the scale grows, cost inevitably becomes an issue. Third-party solutions often offer cost advantages because they support multi-cloud deployments and are optimized for specific scenarios.
