10. An Easy Way of Monitoring and Troubleshooting Multi-Cloud Applications [NET2356]
You’ve planned out the deployment of your multi-cloud application. Now it’s time to find out how you’ll monitor and troubleshoot this application. There are plenty of off-the-shelf dashboarding or data analysis tools, but do you have all the required data points? Does your application delivery platform provide the data you need at scale without needing to export logs or break the bank? Do you have to chase down your platform vendor to find information or solutions?
In this Meet the Expert session, we’ll demonstrate how with VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer, you can take control of your application monitoring and troubleshooting, regardless of cloud and application type.
