Cloud Account Management¶

In the course of business operations, enterprises often need to use multiple cloud service accounts to meet different business needs. However, when these cloud services experience failures, a decentralized management approach may lead to inefficiencies and increase operational costs for the enterprise.

The "Cloud Account Management feature" consolidates all of an enterprise's cloud service accounts into a unified management system, distinguishing them by the uniqueness of certain configurations under each account. By configuring integrated collectors, independent management is achieved for the cloud services under each account, thereby enabling precise control over business data.

This management method not only simplifies the enterprise's cloud service management process but also aids in quickly identifying and resolving service failures, significantly reducing management costs and improving fault response speed.
