Cloud Monitoring

Definitions

1. The observation of cloud resources, services, and workloads through metrics, logs, traces, and health signals provided by cloud-native or integrated monitoring systems. Cloud monitoring is essential because distributed managed services can fail or degrade in ways that are hard to diagnose without centralized visibility.

   In plain English: Monitoring cloud services and workloads to understand health and performance.

   Example: "They improved cloud monitoring by combining application latency, queue depth, and managed database failover signals into one operational dashboard."
