Improving Cloud Performance FAQs
What strategies improve resilience across multi-region cloud architectures?
Improve resilience with multi-region redundancy, automated failover, and continuous monitoring of inter-region paths and traffic shifts. Kentik helps by visualizing hybrid/multi-cloud connectivity, analyzing flow logs by cloud region/provider, detecting region-level traffic changes via Insights, and validating paths with synthetic testing.
How can I monitor and improve latency between cloud regions?
Latency between cloud regions (or between on-prem and cloud) impacts application responsiveness, especially for multi-region deployments. Monitoring tools should collect real-time metrics like latency, loss, and jitter and correlate them with path and routing context so you can detect performance degradation quickly. Kentik provides mesh and synthetic tests spanning cloud regions and shows these metrics alongside live traffic patterns, letting you pinpoint and fix inter-region performance issues early.
What key metrics should I track to optimize cloud network performance?
To optimize cloud network performance, track metrics including latency, throughput, packet loss, congestion patterns, and cloud-specific metrics like VPC flow logs. Continuous performance testing — including synthetic tests — helps highlight degradation before users notice. Kentik combines these metrics and telemetry with real-time analytics so you can understand where performance degrades and optimize routing and capacity accordingly.
How do I balance cloud performance and cost effectively?
Cloud performance and cost are tightly linked. Inefficient routing, expensive egress paths, or oversized capacity can degrade experience and inflate bills. Best practice is to monitor performance alongside usage and cost trends, detect traffic shifts that incur higher transfer costs, and right-size or re-route traffic where possible. Kentik’s cloud performance and cost analytics let NetOps teams spot high-cost traffic flows, correlate them with performance impacts, and adjust network paths or capacity to optimize both.
How can I detect cloud performance anomalies before they affect users?
Performance anomalies often manifest as sudden changes in latency, jitter, or throughput. AI-assisted anomaly detection and continuous synthetic monitoring gives you early warning of problems. Kentik’s network intelligence platform combines automatic traffic analysis with proactive alerts keyed to performance thresholds — including latency spikes and lost packets — so you can investigate and remediate issues before they affect application users.
