Abstract : This chapter explores the nuances of achieving excellence in cloud operations with an emphasis on management and monitoring techniques. Key concepts including resource tracking, cost optimization, security, compliance, and cloud monitoring are explored. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is also covered. Performance, security, scalability, and cost-effectiveness are all ensured by these components working together to manage cloud resources effectively. For operational excellence in the cloud to be maintained, the chapter emphasizes the importance of automation, log management, alarms and metrics, and real-time monitoring. Businesses can successfully handle the difficulties presented by cloud computing and obtain a competitive advantage in the online market by adopting these strategies.
