The volume of applications running in a cloud is ever-increasing and these applications commonly run in a remote data center. Because of this, we don't have full control over the infrastructure of an application, and it can become difficult to manage and monitor applications running remotely.

Using this pattern, we can decouple the monitoring logic from the application logic, and we can also update the ambassador without impacting the application. In this section, we will explain the following management and monitoring patterns:
- The ambassador pattern
- The health endpoint monitoring pattern
- The external configuration store pattern
