But the moment something breaks, that excitement quickly turns into a nightmare. The SSH Grind : If you find yourself SSH-ing into disparate instances just to run tail -f and grep through scattered log files, you're doing it wrong. The Agnostic Approach : The industry standard demands Centralized Logging, but chaining your application to vendor-specific solutions like AWS CloudWatch or GCP Cloud Logging limits your architectural freedom.
