Cloud data retention is a growing concern for enterprise organizations as they produce large volumes of data in increasingly complex cloud environments. Cloud storage solutions include object storage, file storage, and block storage, with popular options such as Amazon S3, Amazon EFS, and Amazon EBS. However, traditional log analytics solutions like the ELK Stack can be problematic at scale due to indexing failures and performance degradation. ChaosSearch is a new technology that addresses these challenges by providing cost-effective and scalable log analysis directly in the cloud, allowing organizations to retain their data while also analyzing it without sacrificing scalability or increasing complexity.
