BlueCat announced that its Cloud Discovery & Visibility application supports Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS) & Microsoft Azure
Key takeawaysThis key takeaway was generated through LLMs crawling the page and coming up with an overview of the content.BlueCat announced that its Cloud Discovery and Visibility Adaptive Application now supports Google Cloud Platform (GCP) in addition to AWS and Azure, centralizing cloud DNS and IP utilization data into a single IP Address Management solution. The article explains how enterprises face visibility and DNS authority silos across private clouds, public clouds, and data centers that create compliance, resolution, and IP/zone conflict risks, increasing time-to-access and operational friction for NetOps teams. By providing continuous discovery of GCP IP space, GCP Public and Private DNS zones, and REST API automation for multiple GCP accounts, the solution helps IT organizations treat cloud infrastructure as an observable extension of on-premises networks and support hybrid- and multi-cloud strategies.
What problem does BlueCat Cloud Discovery & Visibility solve for organizations using GCP and other clouds?
BlueCat Cloud Discovery & Visibility addresses the problem of fragmented DNS authority and IP visibility that arises when workloads span private clouds, public clouds (including GCP, AWS, and Azure), and data centers. These silos make it difficult for NetOps teams to maintain network compliance, health, and reliable DNS resolution, and they increase the risk of zone or IP conflicts and slower access to data. By centralizing cloud DNS and IP utilization data into a single IP Address Management solution, the application restores unified visibility and reduces operational risk in hybrid- and multi-cloud deployments.
What specific GCP capabilities does the BlueCat application provide?
For GCP, BlueCat Cloud Discovery & Visibility provides continuous, real-time discovery of changes to GCP IP space so teams can monitor infrastructure updates. It discovers Google Cloud DNS resources, including both Public and Private DNS zones, and tracks internal and external name resolution within GCP. Additionally, the application offers REST API support to automate discovery and orchestrate visibility across multiple GCP accounts, enabling scalable, programmatic management of cloud DNS and IP information.
How does centralizing cloud DNS and IP data impact NetOps and development teams?
Centralizing cloud DNS and IP utilization data into a single IPAM solution gives NetOps teams comprehensive visibility across on-premises and cloud environments, improving their ability to enforce compliance, diagnose resolution issues, and prevent IP or zone conflicts. This observable view of cloud infrastructure reduces time-to-access for data in data centers by eliminating fragmented sources of truth and streamlines operational workflows. For development teams, that consistent DNS and IP management enables faster, more reliable access to infrastructure resources, supporting rapid application development and hybrid-cloud strategies.
The Adaptive Application empowers IT teams to achieve central visibility of DNS and IP infrastructure in all major public clouds.
TORONTO, December 3, 2020 /GlobeNewswire/ – BlueCat, the Adaptive DNS Company™, today announced that its Cloud Discovery and Visibility application supports Google Cloud Platform (GCP), in addition to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. This Adaptive Application centralizes cloud DNS and IP utilization data in a single IP Address Management solution, making it easier to support hybrid- and multi-cloud strategies.
As enterprises accelerate migration of workloads to the cloud, they create conflicting silos of DNS authority across private clouds, public clouds, and data centers. This causes visibility challenges for NetOps teams responsible for network compliance, health, and DNS resolution. These challenges increase time-to-access for data in the data center, and the risk of zone or IP conflicts in hybrid-cloud models.
“The cloud must be treated as an extension of the observable, on-premises network,” says Andrew Wertkin, BlueCat Chief Strategy Officer. “Anything less, and the IT organization loses its ability to support development teams, as they race to meet the rapidly evolving needs of their business’ customers and employees.”
