Monitoring and observability in multi-cloud

Designing cloud-native applications for multi-cloud environments necessitates a solid strategy for monitoring and observability. It is instrumental in maintaining the operational health of your application while improving its performance across various platforms. In the following list, we will see a few points to get started with (a detailed explanation is mentioned in Chapter 7, Troubleshooting Multi-Cloud Applications):

  • The significance of comprehensive monitoring and observability: Monitoring and observability are central to understanding your application’s behavior, predicting and mitigating issues, and ensuring seamless performance. Comprehensive monitoring gives you a panoramic view of your application’s performance across different cloud environments, offering actionable insights to enhance reliability and user experience. Observability, an evolution of monitoring, allows you to infer the internal state of your...
