In recent years, as cloud computing technology has become more and more mature, more and more enterprises have begun to migrate their business systems and even entire information systems to the cloud. Due to the elasticity and scalability of the cloud platform, enterprises can purchase and use cloud platform resources and services according to their actual needs, pay on demand, be flexible and scalable, and reduce resource wasteThere is no need for physical maintenance or physical depreciation, which can save enterprises a lot of storage and maintenance costs.
For enterprises, the benefits of moving to the cloud are clear, as the cloud platform provides a flexible, cost-effective, efficient, secure, and reliable infrastructure and service model for all sizes and types of business needs. However, the new O&M problems brought about by the cloud cannot be ignored:
Complexity and Distribution:Cloud environments are often distributed and highly dynamic, and monitoring all the components of these distributed systems and the interactions between them is a complex task that requires high demands on the performance of the monitoring system and requires multiple dimensions to be considered.
Multi-cloud environments:Enterprises often move to the cloud on more than a single cloud platform, and more enterprises deploy applications and services on multiple cloud platforms. Unified monitoring and management of multi-cloud environments to ensure consistent monitoring standards across different cloud providers can involve standardization and integration challenges across cloud platforms.
Flex and autoscaling:The monitoring system must be able to track these changes, adjust monitoring policies in a timely manner, and deal with fluctuations in monitoring data caused by automatic scaling.
Diverse services and technology stack:The cloud platform provides a wide variety of services, including compute, storage, databases, containers, etc., and users can choose different technology stacks for consistent monitoring and alarm configuration across multiple services and technology stacks, ensuring comprehensive visibility, requiring a flexible and scalable monitoring solution.
Network Monitoring:Applications and services in the cloud can be geographically distributed, and network monitoring becomes complex, including monitoring of the cloud service provider's network performance, geographically distributed user access speeds, and communication between different cloud regions.
Cost and performance balance:The use of cloud resources can involve costs, and you need to balance performance and cost to ensure that cost factors are considered in monitoring so that cloud resources are used efficiently while providing adequate performance and availability.
Data Privacy & Compliance:Monitoring data may contain sensitive information that requires compliance with regulatory and compliance requirements to ensure that the monitoring solution has appropriate data protection measures in place, as well as regional and industry compliance requirements.
