Journey wrap-up

What you learned in Section 4:

  • Direct query uses Grafana data sources to query cloud APIs in real-time.
  • No storage costs, but trades off for query performance and complexity.
  • CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, and GCP data sources available.
  • Best for quick visualization and cost-sensitive scenarios.

What you’ll do in this section:

In this final section, you’ll:

  • Review your progress — See where you are in your observability journey
  • Reinforce key takeaways — Understand storage vs. direct query trade-offs
  • Explore resources — Find documentation and next steps

Estimated time: 5 minutes

Script

You’ve explored cloud metrics, cloud logs, and the direct query alternative. This is excellent progress.

In this final section, we’ll review where you are in your observability journey, reinforce key takeaways, and provide resources for continuing your cloud observability practice.
