DataDog Dual Shipping

Overview

DataDog Dual Shipping is a feature that allows your K8SAAS instance to send its telemetry data to your own DataDog endpoints simultaneously to the TDF internal Datadog tenant. This ensures high availability, improved resilience, and flexibility in managing and analyzing your observability data. By dual shipping, you can ensure that your critical monitoring data is redundantly available across different regions or environments.

Key Features

Redundancy and High Availability

Dual shipping allows for seamless failover between multiple DataDog endpoints. This ensures that even if one endpoint becomes unavailable due to network issues or other disruptions, your monitoring data will still be accessible from the other endpoint.

Improved Reliability

By sending data to separate DataDog locations, you can significantly reduce the risk of data loss. In the event of a failure or delay at one endpoint, the other endpoint ensures that your data remains intact and up-to-date.

Regional Compliance and Performance

Dual shipping enables businesses to comply with regional data regulations by ensuring data is processed and stored in specific geographical locations. It also improves the performance of data collection and visualization by routing data to the closest DataDog endpoint.

Enhanced Analytics

With telemetry data available simultaneously at multiple locations, teams can perform comprehensive and comparative analysis, extracting deeper insights and improving operational efficiency across different facets of the business.
