Datadog Cloud Network Monitoring (CNM) provides comprehensive visibility into cloud environments, helping users diagnose network issues, optimize traffic costs, and monitor the performance of cloud service dependencies. Migrating infrastructure to the cloud introduces challenges due to the ephemeral nature of cloud environments and shifting IP addresses, which can obscure visibility into both infrastructure and application levels. CNM addresses these challenges by enabling users to track network communication across cloud services, detect and diagnose network outages, and visualize live network traffic. It integrates with telemetry data, including distributed traces and logs, to help identify problems at both the network and service levels. Additionally, CNM aids in managing cloud traffic costs by visualizing traffic flows between availability zones and regions, allowing users to spot inefficiencies and make informed decisions regarding resource allocation. By providing a single interface for monitoring cloud infrastructure, CNM facilitates the identification of issues related to cloud provider performance and helps ensure efficient and compliant network operations.
