Solution Brief

Kentik Cloud for AWS

Kentik Cloud gives enterprises and service providers comprehensive network observability across all major cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and OCI. Network, cloud, and infrastructure teams use Kentik Cloud to optimize performance, resolve incidents, reduce costs, strengthen security posture, and maximize the ROI of cloud migrations.

As part of the Kentik Network Intelligence Platform, Kentik Cloud unifies visibility by ingesting VPC Flow Logs and performance metrics to, from, and across clouds, the internet, and on-premises networks — delivering deep insight into path, performance, connectivity, configuration, and cost to ensure reliable, secure, and cost-efficient infrastructure at scale.

Visibility into all major cloud environments

Control and optimize cloud costs
Cut waste by pinpointing costly egress and cross-zone traffic while right-sizing infrastructure like Transit Gateways to reduce spend.

Troubleshoot hybrid connectivity
Rapidly troubleshoot connectivity by correlating VPC Flow Logs with performance testing across Direct Connect, VPNs, and cloud regions.

Reduce risk and strengthen security
Conduct network security analysis to detect threats — like data exfiltration and lateral movement — that bypass traditional perimeter defenses.

Rapidly resolve and rule out network incidents

Query and visualize context-enriched AWS, inter-cloud, and hybrid-cloud traffic data to get instant answers to network-layer questions and solve “unknown unknowns” in seconds. Understand connectivity and performance between services and applications without digging into code. In Kentik Map, see warnings when utilization approaches capacity thresholds and address denied traffic in context of Security Groups and Access Control Lists.

Security groups detail
Visually explore AWS infrastructure and quickly confirm the root cause of an incident.

Maximize ROI of cloud migrations and redundancy

Drive migration planning and execution with current and historical data on traffic, performance, and dependencies. Use automated analysis and insights to right-size capacity, architect failover, and measure success. Effortlessly track changes to hybrid cloud resources with dynamic topology maps that are always up to date.

Ensure smooth cloud migrations
Easily drive sound planning and decision-making with fast answers and visualizations on migrated workloads.

Ensure security and compliance of multi-cloud deployments

Get custom alerts on the traffic and infrastructure patterns that pose risks to the compliance and security of your business. Protect your brand by crafting and refining cloud network policies that adhere to critical customer and regulatory commitments without blocking productivity. If a security incident arises, audit context-enriched traffic from multiple clouds in one efficient platform to understand flagged transactions and potential data exfiltration.
