Surbhi Kanthed · International Journal on Science and Technology · 2024
Cloud computing has transformed the way organizations provision, manage, and scale their IT resources. However, the complexity and distributed nature of cloud environments make effective monitoring critical to ensure performance, reliability, and security. This white paper provides a comprehensive examination of the concepts, solutions, trends, and future directions in monitoring of cloud computing environments. We synthesize existing literature and present a holistic perspective on monitoring techniques, metrics, architectures, and tools, illustrating real-world case studies and emerging research directions. The paper concludes by highlighting open research challenges and suggesting avenues for future work.
