AWS announces Amazon DevOps Guru in Preview, an ML-powered cloud operations service to improve application availability for AWS workloads

Posted on: Dec 1, 2020

Amazon DevOps Guru is a new machine learning (ML) powered service that gives you a simpler way to measure and improve an application’s operational performance and availability and reduce expensive downtime – no machine learning expertise required. 

As more organizations move to cloud-based application development, applications have become increasingly complex and disparate, making operational performance difficult to manage. Developers and IT operations teams require more automated practices to maintain application availability and reduce the time and effort spent detecting and resolving operational issues that lead to costly downtime. 

Using machine learning models informed by years of operational expertise in building, scaling, and maintaining highly available applications at Amazon.com, DevOps Guru identifies behaviors that deviate from normal operating patterns. When DevOps Guru identifies a critical issue, it automatically alerts you with a summary of related anomalies, the likely root cause, and context on when and where the issue occurred. DevOps Guru also, when possible, provides prescriptive recommendations on how to remediate the issue. 

You can use Amazon DevOps Guru in Preview in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo).
