Explore the functional structure of cloud services through a 15-minute conference talk from NSDI '22. Delve into CloudCluster, an innovative algorithm that uses VM-to-VM traffic matrices to uncover the underlying architecture of cloud services. Learn how this approach overcomes challenges of scale and measurement noise, achieving over 92% clustering accuracy. Discover practical applications for cost reduction, anomaly detection, and misconfiguration identification in cloud environments. Gain insights into cloud service anatomy, monitoring abstractions, and the importance of functional structure visibility for both providers and customers.
