There are many reasons why you would want to visualize your AWS, GCP and Azure environments. Knowing exactly what is running based on the actual resources running in your cloud environments is probably the number one reason to use an automated Cloud Visualization Tool over manually drawing your network diagrams.

The Increasing adoption of cloud based infrastructure by businesses large and small is a testament to the benefits of moving from on premise hardware to infrastructure as a service or the cloud as it more commonly referred.

AWS Fargate is a service that provisions serverless compute resources to run AWS ECS and EKS containers.  AWS states that Fargate allows you to focus on building your applications when you let Fargate provision and manage the infrastructure required. Think of it as containers on-demand with no underlying manually created infrastructure that are quick to launch and scale, where you manage everything at the container level.

When you are monitoring your AWS infrastructure for security alerts, not all security signals can be remediated automatically. Large or complex environments can generate multiple security flags (repeatedly) that need to be manually investigated in detail.  This requires access to sometimes complex metadata to thoroughly investigate which may place a strain on your in-house security skills or may even require you to find the budget for a dedicated security expert.

Security is possibly the most important consideration for any organization storing data or hosting applications on public cloud infrastructure.

When you are responsible for the delivery and maintenance of critical or complex applications built on cloud infrastructure, the chances are you are relying on multiple in house engineers or teams of engineers, devops and external consultants to keep your network and applications operating at peak performance for your end users.
