Episode 72 — Monitoring Strategies: Metrics, Logs and Traces in Cloud
Effective monitoring is at the heart of cloud security operations, providing the visibility required to detect, analyze, and respond to threats. In this episode, we discuss monitoring strategies that combine metrics for performance, logs for events, and traces for end-to-end transaction visibility. Each of these telemetry sources provides a different lens on cloud activity, and together they create a comprehensive picture of system health and security posture.
We also emphasize how monitoring in the cloud requires automation and correlation, since the scale and complexity of data exceed what humans can review manually. The exam often challenges you to identify which monitoring strategy is appropriate for a scenario, such as detecting anomalies, identifying compliance gaps, or investigating suspected breaches. By mastering these concepts, you’ll gain practical knowledge that applies equally to the CCSP test and real-world cloud operations. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
