A lot of teams only realize they need VPC Flow Logs after an incident has already gone sideways. A workload starts behaving oddly. An analyst sees suspicious outbound connections. Someone asks the most basic question in cloud incident response: what else did this instance talk to, when, and was that traffic allowed or blocked?
