## What's next & why
- [Incident management](/monitor/#incident-management-1)

## Key Themes
- [Application metrics](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/534)
- [Cluster cost optimization](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/503)
- [Kubernetes configuration](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/115)
- [Operations dashboard](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/642)
