Log monitoring, log analysis, and log analytics are more important than ever as organizations adopt more cloud-native technologies, containers, and microservices-based architectures. Driving this growth is the increasing adoption of hyperscale cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and GCP) and containerized microservices running on Kubernetes.

Most Kubernetes clusters in the cloud (73%) are built on top of managed distributions from the hyperscalers like AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), or Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). The need for runtime security observability is growing to automate vulnerability impact analysis.

If your app runs in a public cloud, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP), the provider secures the infrastructure, while you’re responsible for security measures within applications and configurations. What are some key characteristics of securing cloud applications?

Cloud service providers, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) , can offer infrastructure with five-nines availability by deploying in multiple availability zones and replicating data between regions. Traditionally, teams achieve this high level of uptime using a combination of high-capacity hardware, system redundancy, and failover models.
