Strategies for scaling monitoring in large and dynamic cloud environments
Expanding monitoring in large cloud environments involves more than just increasing capacity, especially as those environments become more complex and dynamic, so effective monitoring strategies must evolve to ensure observability, performance, and reliability. Here, we will expose several strategies for expanding monitoring in such environments:
- Automated monitoring and alerting: In large and dynamic cloud environments, an approach based on manual monitoring is not practical due to the large volume of data and rapid pace of change. The recommendation is the use of automated monitoring tools that can collect, analyze, and respond in real time. These tools must be configurable to automatically detect anomalies, generate alerts based on dynamic thresholds, prioritize critical alerts over false positives, and trigger automated remediation processes. In the case of Azure Monitor, it has the capability to...
