Application Dependency Mapping is a method that enables the monitoring of connections between different components of an application and the IT resources they rely on. This mapping technique is commonly employed alongside automation and orchestration platforms, which streamline IT environments by integrating multiple automated tasks and configurations across various application components. Through orchestration, IT departments can effectively allocate resources for specific IT workloads using advanced software solutions, resulting in optimized provisioning processes. Network monitoring examines real-time packet information to obtain precise data on application dependencies.
