Applying available best practices, compliance requirements and cost management are adding to the challenge. With the Serverless technologies, customers can apply such policies to cloud resources and run them over a long time.

APM tools have been formerly and primarily siloed in the application development arena, with only the most important and mission-critical applications having their APM instrumentation extended into production use due to complexity and cost.

One highly requested feature of AWS’s Application Load Balancer is the ability to assign static IP addresses. Unfortunately, ALBs do not support this feature and it is unlikely they will in the near future.

Limits on the number or type of metrics, collection frequency, or time to visualization can mean the difference between timely resolution and unacceptable losses in time, money, and productivity.
