Let’s take a look back at the year and see what major features the Program Groups delivered!
Cya, old AppInsights!
One of the most notable milestones was the retirement of Classic Application Insights on February 29, 2024. This move encouraged users to transition to workspace-based resources, offering improved integration and advanced features within Azure Monitor.
Farewell MMA/OMS
Although some people will say OMS was never a thing (Bwren – talking about you), August 31, 2024, marked the retirement of the Log Analytics Agent (MMA/OMS). Users were advised to migrate to the Azure Monitor Agent (AMA) to benefit from enhanced performance, security, and support for new data sources.
Classic Storage Metrics
On January 9, 2024, classic metrics in Azure Storage were retired.
Enhanced Logging for AKS
December 2024 brought significant enhancements to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) logging. New metadata and log severity levels were introduced in Azure Monitor Logs, providing more granular insights into AKS operations.
