Grafana Labs Launches Public Preview of AI Assistant for Observability and Monitoring
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Grafana Labs, the open observability cloud, today announced the public preview of Grafana Assistant, an AI-powered observability tool that allows users to interact with logs, metrics, and traces using natural language. Now available to all Grafana Cloud users, Grafana Assistant helps accelerate root cause analysis, automate query creation, and make monitoring workflows more accessible to developers, SREs, and IT teams at every skill level. "Grafana Assistant has transformed how we tackle observability data, acting like a seasoned expert woven into the interface." As AI transforms how teams build and operate software, observability tools must evolve to match the speed, scale, and complexity of modern systems. This is backed by the 2025 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs, which found that complexity and signal-to-noise ratio are the two biggest challenges with observability. Grafana Assistant was purpose-built to meet this demand. It bridges the gap between traditional observability tools and the new demands of today by making observability data more accessible, actionable, and conversational. 'There's no doubt that AI is accelerating the pace of innovation. As more organizations adopt a software-driven mindset, they're using AI to rewire how they operate, from revenue and operations to reliability and customer experience,' said Tom Wilkie, Grafana Labs CTO. 'That's why we built Grafana Assistant: a context-aware AI agent that helps teams move from signal to action faster, right inside the tools they already use. Tools like this – along with other AI-powered capabilities in our open observability cloud, like Asserts knowledge graph and Adaptive Telemetry – are helping companies navigate growing digital complexity and act with greater clarity and speed.' Grafana Assistant introduces a context-aware AI agent directly into the Grafana UI, enabling real-time collaboration, investigation, and dashboard creation – all through natural language. Instead of writing complex queries or jumping between tools, users can simply ask questions to: Understand their observability data and environment with in-context guidance and best practices drawn from Grafana's extensive documentation, blog content, and community knowledge. Follow logical paths of inquiry during incidents, supported by AI trained on real-world SRE workflows. Users can even run multiple multi-step investigations in parallel. Create and modify dashboards and panels using natural language, speeding up common tasks and reducing friction. Navigate across Grafana apps and views effortlessly, with the Assistant understanding Grafana URLs and workflows, from querying metrics, logs, traces, and profiles to declaring incidents, creating SLOs, or setting up alerts. This means users don't need to be observability experts to troubleshoot faster, collaborate more effectively, and stay in control of even the most dynamic, AI-driven systems. It's already making an impact with early adopters: "Grafana Assistant has transformed how we tackle observability data, acting like a seasoned expert woven into the interface,' said Mikhail Volkov, Founder and CEO of Volkov Labs. 'It empowers non-technical users, who might find Grafana's technical complexities daunting, to swiftly investigate incidents, craft intuitive dashboards, and explore Grafana Cloud with remarkable ease and confidence." Grafana Assistant is available now in public preview in Grafana Cloud. About Grafana Labs Grafana Labs is the open observability cloud helping organizations understand their systems at scale and turn data into action. With more than 25 million users and over 5,000 customers, including Bloomberg, Citigroup, Dell Technologies, Salesforce, and TomTom, Grafana Labs offers a composable observability stack built around Grafana, the world's most popular open source technology for dashboards and visualization; scalable metrics (Grafana Mimir), logs (Grafana Loki), and traces (Grafana Tempo); and a rich ecosystem of data source plugins. Grafana Cloud, the company's fully managed observability offering, includes turnkey solutions for Kubernetes and infrastructure monitoring, application observability, incident response, load testing, and more. Grafana Labs is backed by leading investors Lightspeed Venture Partners, Lead Edge Capital, GIC, Sequoia Capital, Coatue, J.P. Morgan, and CapitalG.

Voltage Park Addresses Kubernetes Complexity for AI Developers with New Managed Offering
Managed K8s feature lets AI engineers and researchers focus on model training and deployment by abstracting Kubernetes complexity on high-performance GPU infrastructure SAN FRANCISCO, June 04, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Voltage Park, the company building the future of AI factories with world-class performance and service, today announced the launch of its managed Kubernetes service. This fully-managed Kubernetes control plane solution is specifically designed to simplify and accelerate the deployment of containerized AI and machine learning workloads on Voltage Park's high-performance bare metal GPU clusters. Workloads running on Voltage Park's high-performance bare metal GPU clusters benefit from a fully managed Kubernetes infrastructure. By offloading the operational overhead—including setup, security, patching, and monitoring—Voltage Park enables customers such as to focus their resources on building, training, and deploying cutting-edge models, rather than managing complex infrastructure. This launch marks a significant step in Voltage Park's mission to create a seamless AI factory, integrating optimized hardware with intelligent software to provide accessible, high-performance AI infrastructure. This managed Kubernetes offering was developed in direct response to feedback from AI pioneers and ML engineers who require robust, production-ready environments without the steep learning curve or operational overhead of managing Kubernetes themselves. Saurabh Giri, CPTO at Voltage Park, shares, "Across the spectrum of AI infrastructure I've worked with – from vast, general-purpose clouds to bespoke, specialized systems – the challenge isn't just accessing compute, but unlocking its full potential with agility. The Voltage Park AI factory is our blueprint for this. Our managed Kubernetes service, a key pillar of the Voltage Park AI factory, is engineered to do just that. We streamline the complex orchestration of bare metal GPUs, so that AI teams can focus on rapidly building and deploying their workloads." While Voltage Park handles the provisioning, updates, and health monitoring of the Kubernetes control plane, seamlessly integrated with bare metal clusters, AI/ML teams are able to: Bypass the complexities of Kubernetes control plane setup, security patching, and ongoing maintenance. Dedicate their expertise to developing, training, and deploying cutting-edge models. Leverage the full power of Kubernetes for their GPU-accelerated applications without the prerequisite of deep Kubernetes expertise, fostering faster innovation cycles. To accelerate readiness for AI workloads, Voltage Park's managed Kubernetes includes pre-configured, yet customizable, essential components on worker nodes: NVIDIA GPU Operator: Ensures seamless NVIDIA driver management and device plugin operation for optimal GPU utilization. Prometheus and Grafana: Provides a robust, out-of-the-box monitoring stack for real-time insights into cluster and application performance. SentinelOne: Delivers enhanced security observability and threat detection for containerized environments. These defaults are fully customizable, allowing teams to tailor the environment to their specific workflow and tooling preferences. It is engineered to empower research institutions, AI startups, and enterprise AI labs working on demanding deep learning, model training, and high-performance computing workloads. Currently tailored for optimal performance on bare metal GPU clusters, Voltage Park is actively working to extend Managed Kubernetes support to virtual machine environments in future iterations, offering even greater flexibility.
