More than anything, reliability becomes the principal challenge for network engineers working in and with the cloud. Even the most detailed reliability engineering can be easily undermined in an insecure network. While there is much to be said about cloud costs and performance , I want to focus this article primarily on reliability.

With so many network boundaries being navigated (application, service, cloud providers, subnets, SD-WANs , etc.), network operators and engineers cast as wide a net as possible to source their telemetry. With the level of detail that application-level telemetry provides, operators can quickly answer: Is this even a network problem?
