Claim:
1. A method of visually depicting cloud resource utilization during execution of an application, the application using multiple cloud resources deployed on multiple cloud hosts, including: displaying, by a resource monitoring module in a graphical user interface, a visual depiction of resource utilization of the multiple cloud resources during execution of the application, the cloud resources comprising resources of a cloud computing environment implementing infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, and software as a service; receiving, from a user through the graphical user interface displaying the visual depiction of resource utilization of the multiple cloud resources, a resource utilization threshold for each of the multiple cloud resources includes manipulating, by the user, a graphical element displayed in the graphical user interface that represents the resource utilization threshold for each of the multiple cloud resources by expanding or contracting the graphical element that represents the resource utilization threshold for each of the multiple cloud resources, wherein the graphical element is three-dimensional; stepping through a line of code in the application; updating the visual depiction of resource utilization of the multiple cloud resources based on the stepped through line of code in the application; determining, by the resource monitoring module, whether one or more of the resource utilization thresholds have been reached; and responsive to determining that one or more of the resource utilization thresholds have been reached, executing a predetermined action.
