Most organizations are moving applications and workloads to the cloud. Our APM survey found that 88% of organizations had some form of cloud technology deployed already. At the same time, there are several misconceptions about the cloud.

My contributions were to offer some insight into our architecture that has been designed to monitor infrastructure that has been deployed as code automatically and without tedious manual configuration.
The majority of monitoring and management solutions used in enterprises provide their customers with APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and a CLI to facilitate DevOps type workflows. With IaC (Infrastructure as Code) becoming de facto and ubiquitous, decent APIs have long been a must have on product evaluation checklists; there are of course a few exceptions – namely products aimed only at SMB (Small and Medium Business), immature startups, or freeware.
This is another customer blog highlighting common customer scenarios that we typically see while working with large enterprise customers. There are many use cases in regard to a typical Citrix Digital Workspace environment where the endpoint is managed by a different team, outsourced to an external organization, or even unmanaged when employees work from home on a non-corporate device.
