Too Long; Didn't Read
Cloud, today, is highly abstracted. Public cloud service providers (CSPs), like AWS, offer a wide array of specialized services like Kinesis, Data Pipeline, Simple Queue Service (SQS), Simple Notification Service (SNS), DynamoDB, ElasticSearch (ES), etc. To top it, the cloud ecosystem in itself is very dynamic — several resources scale up or scale down on demand simultaneously. Monitoring all these resources and getting a holistic view of them is pivotal, however, challenging for a business. That said, traditional IT monitoring solutions that do not support new services and a siloed approach to cloud monitoring do not fit the bill anymore.
