This workshop focuses on advanced topics in the area of metrics and related areas such as instrumentation, visualization, and analytics. The complexity and scale of computing infrastructure has reached a point where intuitive analytical processes and conventional wisdom breaks down. Failure and variability are becoming the rule in modern systems, not the exception. This complexity has an impact on our ability to analyze these systems, their stability, and our daily management of them. The use of guesswork can have dire consequences for stability and performance; metrics and what we do with them are at the heart of coping with this.
