Datadog Wins Two Google Cloud Partner Awards, Deepens AI Stack Coverage
Datadog has received two 2026 Google Cloud Partner of the Year awards, one for AIOps (Technology) and one for Infrastructure Modernization (Marketplace). The recognition reflects a deepening collaboration around the Datadog Google Cloud AI stack, giving teams building AI applications on Google Cloud a unified platform to manage everything from agents to security.
As AI adoption accelerates, the problem for most teams is no longer building AI applications. It is managing the full stack. Data pipelines, infrastructure, release workflows, and security operations are often monitored by separate tools. That fragmentation creates complexity and slows decision-making.
To address this, Datadog now supports auto-instrumentation for Google ADK-based agents via LLM Observability. Teams building on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform can therefore debug agentic workflows step by step, inspect inputs and outputs, and analyze latency and token usage without writing custom instrumentation. In addition, LLM Observability Experiments allows teams to test prompts and compare models before changes go to production.
When incidents occur, the Datadog MCP Server brings observability context directly into AI-assisted environments like Gemini CLI. Meanwhile, Bits AI SRE autonomously analyzes full-stack telemetry behind an incident to surface likely root causes.
On the infrastructure side, Datadog GPU Monitoring surfaces utilization inefficiencies and hardware bottlenecks across Google Cloud GPUs. For teams using Google’s custom TPU accelerators, Datadog’s Google Cloud TPU integration provides equivalent visibility.
In terms of data reliability, Datadog Data Observability detects anomalies and pipeline failures in BigQuery, Databricks, Spark, Airflow, and dbt, before bad data affects downstream AI models or end users.
Finally, on the security front, Bits AI Security Analyst acts as an always-on SOC teammate inside Datadog Cloud SIEM, automatically triaging alerts and recommending verdicts. Cloud SIEM Content Packs for Google Workspace, Security Command Center, and Google Cloud Audit Logs enable quick, out-of-the-box threat detection.
