Cloud Integrations — overview
Pull AWS CloudWatch and Azure Monitor metrics into VerOps, correlated with the rest of your telemetry.
What Cloud Integrations is
Cloud Integrations pulls metrics from your cloud provider accounts — Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure — straight into VerOps, where they sit alongside your application, infrastructure and network telemetry. You connect an account once; VerOps polls it on a schedule and stores the metrics as first-class VerOps series you can chart, alert on, and ask Vera about.
The problem it solves
Your services don't run in a vacuum — they sit on EC2, RDS, Lambda, Azure VMs, App Services and more. When something degrades, you need the cloud platform's own view (CPU, memory, throttles, connections, latency) next to your traces and logs, in one place, correlated. Cloud Integrations removes the context-switch to separate cloud consoles.
How it fits together
| Piece | Who owns it | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Integration | You (tenant admin) | A connection to one AWS account or Azure subscription, with the regions/services to collect. |
| Collector | VerOps | Polls each enabled integration on its schedule, normalizes the metrics, and stores them per tenant. |
| Metrics surfaces | You | Dashboards, alerts and Vera — cloud metrics behave like any other VerOps metric. |
What you get
- Unified metrics. Cloud metrics land in the same store as the rest of your telemetry, named consistently (
cloud.aws.ec2.cpu_utilization,cloud.azure.compute_virtualmachines.percentage_cpu). - Standard resource labels. Every series carries
cloud_provider,cloud_account_id,cloud_region,cloud_resource_idandcloud_service, so you can filter and group the same way across providers. - Least-privilege, keyless-first onboarding. The recommended flows never ask you to hand VerOps a long-lived secret (see Security and permissions).
- Full visibility. Each integration shows health, last poll time, series volume and the last error, so you always know it's working.
Supported providers
| Provider | Source | Recommended auth |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Web Services | CloudWatch | Cross-account IAM role + ExternalId |
| Microsoft Azure | Azure Monitor | Multi-tenant app + admin consent |
Note: Cloud Integrations is an admin surface, found under Manage → Cloud Integrations. You bring read-only access to your cloud account; VerOps does the rest.
