Observer Infrastructure (OI) provides insight into Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) performance for major providers, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google App Engine, Rackspace, GoGrid and Hosting.com, by utilizing cloud vendor APIs and CloudKick.

Performance metrics tracked include CPU, disk activity, user experience and memory use can be viewed alongside internal network, application and infrastructure performance.
