Versatile, feature-rich cloud computing environments such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and GCP have been a game-changer. Keeping track of performance, response time, and efficiency can be cumbersome, especially when teams use a multicloud strategy that spans cloud environments and on-premises systems. The benefit is scalability.

Lifting and shifting applications from the data center to the cloud delivers only marginal benefits. Because cloud computing breaks application functions into many microservices, porting monolithic applications to the cloud unchanged can slow them down. So, what is cloud-native architecture, exactly? Declarative APIs.

But your infrastructure teams don’t see any issue on their AWS or Azure monitoring tools, your platform team doesn’t see anything too concerning in Kubernetes logging, and your apps team says there are green lights across the board. Every component has its own siloed cloud monitoring tool, with its own set of data. The blame game.
