In this January 2019 Kentik report, AWS Cloud Adoption, Visibility & Management, we analyze responses from a survey of 310 technical and executive-level peers who attended the recent Amazon Web Services (AWS) re:Invent conference. The survey was designed to surface specific cloud visibility challenges and identify trends in cloud monitoring.

Key findings include:

• Multi-cloud is real, and more common than hybrid-cloud.
• Most common multi-cloud combo: AWS + Azure.
• Biggest cloud challenge: Cost management.
• The cloud skills gap challenge is rising.
• Organizations today rely on at least 2 tools to improve cloud visibility.
• Spreadsheets are still being used to understand AWS costs.
• A significant gap exists in using AWS VPC Flow Logs for cloud visibility.
