WHAT IS CLOUD NATIVE?
Cloud Native services take advantage of cloud computing and are built using microservices. The use of microservices decentralizes applications, makes environments more stable and helps to limit the possibility of an application failure.
What direction are you going with your cloud? Armor can ingest logs from services within AWS, Azure or Google Cloud Platform. In AWS, Armor can ingest logs from AWS CloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs, AWS WAF, and Amazon GuardDuty. In Azure, Network Security Group and Application Gateway flow logs can be ingested.
