Visibility in the cloud is a critical yet challenging issue, varying across providers like AWS and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), each with unique strengths and blind spots. While cloud providers offer default logging and monitoring at no extra cost, these are insufficient for comprehensive visibility across an organization.
