Cloud Native Observability for Azure

groundcover brings a radically new approach to observability on Azure, powered by a BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) architecture. Instantly collect every log, metric, trace, LLM activity and store it securely inside your Azure Virtual Network (VNet), fully managed by us.

No rate limits. No sampling. No data left behind.

Own your entire Azure Observability Stack with groundcover

When you run workloads on AKS, your telemetry is some of your most sensitive data. Yet with most SaaS Observability tools, that data leaves your cluster and is shipped off to someone else’s cloud, locked behind pricing markups, and out of your control.

groundcover changes that. With a Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) architecture, all your logs, metrics, traces, RUM, and LLM signals stay where they belong: inside your Azure VNet. You own the data, the residency, and the security without sacrificing performance or scale.

This model not only keeps your data private, it also breaks the economics of SaaS. No ingestion taxes, no volume-based penalties, and no maintenance — just full observability at a fraction of the cost.

With groundcover, deployment of your managed instance and instrumentation is instant. No code changes, no lengthy setup, no maintenance overhead. From the moment it’s installed, you get 100% visibility across your entire AKS stack complete with enriched, contextual telemetry that stitches logs, metrics, and traces together automatically.

With groundcover, Azure users finally get observability that is theirs to own: secure by design, cost-efficient by architecture, and effortless to run.

Better together: an Azure-native solution

Built for harnessing Azure cloud native solutions like AKS, giving you full control, maximum savings, and uncompromised security.

• Leverage your existing Azure credits, commitments, and reserved instances while keeping all your telemetry secure in your own Azure environment
• Compatible with any Kubernetes flavor from version v1.21 (including Azure's Managed Kubernetes Service - AKS)
• Native support for any Linux OS distribution on top of Azure; fully compatible with Azure ARM and X86 based Virtual Machines (Intel and AMD).
• Native integration with Azure infrastructure metrics and logs and a whole lot more

Benefits of using groundcover on Azure

One place for all your monitoring

Logs, metrics, traces, and Kubernetes events — all unified in your Azure Virtual Machines. From infrastructure to applications to LLM workloads, groundcover delivers observability without tiers, gates, or limits.

Reduce costs, dramatically

Eliminate SaaS markups and ingestion-based pricing. With flat, predictable per-node pricing and the ability to leverage your Azure credits, you can capture every signal without tradeoffs all at a fraction of the cost.

100% visibility, all the time

Cover your entire AKS and Kubernetes stack instantly with the power of eBPF instrumentation. No code changes, no gaps — your applications evolve constantly, but your observability shouldn’t.

Troubleshoot like a pro

Auto-detected issues and full Kubernetes context give you clarity at scale. groundcover’s enriched telemetry and data granularity make root cause analysis faster than ever.

Distributed tracing, From anywhere in your cloud

• All traces with no sampling, for the same flat price
• Out-of-the-box instant tracing using eBPF
• Instantly dive deeper into a specific service to continue the investigation.
