Continuous Monitoring is a DevOps practice that involves the ongoing assessment, measurement, and analysis of various aspects of a software system or infrastructure. It aims to ensure that the system is performing as expected, secure, and compliant with defined standards and requirements.
Key aspects of Continuous Monitoring include:
Monitoring system performance: Tracking metrics such as CPU usage, memory consumption, network traffic, and response times to identify performance bottlenecks and ensure optimal system performance.
Monitoring application health: Checking the availability and functionality of applications, services, and APIs to ensure they are running as expected and delivering the desired user experience.
Monitoring security: Detecting and responding to security threats, vulnerabilities, and anomalies in real-time to maintain the overall security posture of the system.
Monitoring compliance: Ensuring that the system adheres to relevant regulations, industry standards, and internal policies throughout its lifecycle.
