As application complexity increases, the debugging process in production environments gets more complicated as well. AWS understands this challenge and includes tracing tools in its cloud services. For instance, AWS X-Ray helps developers analyze and debug distributed applications, such as those built using a microservices architecture. Epsagon specializes in automated tracing for cloud microservices, providing automated end-to-end tracing across not distributed AWS services.

Attribution models allow companies to guide marketing, sales, and support efforts using data, and then custom tailor every customer’s experience for maximum effect. Combined together, cloud-based data pipeline tools like Fivetran and data warehouses like Amazon Redshift form the infrastructure for integrating and centralizing data from across a company’s operations and activities, enabling business intelligence and analytics activities.

Red Hat Insights helps you manage Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Systems on AWS by analyzing physical, virtual, container, and hybrid private and public cloud environments, comparing them to more than 1,000 rules. These rules identify potential threats that could lead to business disruptions. Insights scans your environments daily, summarizes any identified risks in its dashboard, and provides remediation steps for those risks.

Organizations these days are inundated with data. Learn how engineers and analysts can handle the critical challenges of gaining insights from large and complex data sources while also democratizing data for improved adoption across the organization. The Sisense platform simplifies end-to-end data and analytics, reducing time-to-insights by empowering data and IT teams to build advanced data models and perform advanced analysis for their needs.

End users can now configure AWS Single Sign-On (AWS SSO) to access Dynatrace with a single sign-on experience using the same credentials they use with their Amazon Web Services (AWS) account. AWS Single Sign-On provides administrators a simple way to assign users and groups access to AWS accounts, roles, and SAML-based applications. This eliminates the need for users to log in to Dynatrace separately.

To receive the AWS Competency designation, which showcases top APN Partners to customers, organizations must undergo rigorous technical validation. To help APN Technology Partners understand this process and our validation requirements, we are releasing new versions of the AWS Competency Validation Checklists (VCL).

Enterprises often choose to mask, remove, or encrypt sensitive data in the ETL step to minimize the risk of sensitive data becoming stored, logged, accessible, or breached from their data lake or data warehouse. Xplenty’s ETL and ELT platform allows customers to quickly and easily prepare their data for analytics using a simple-to-use data integration cloud service. Xplenty’s global service uses AWS KMS to create and control the keys used to encrypt or digitally sign your data.

Serverless architectures allow application teams to build applications quickly without worrying about any of the underlying servers. Thundra’s cloud-native observability and security tool helps you test, debug, monitor, troubleshoot, and secure AWS Lambda functions, containers deployed by services like AWS Fargate, and their environments composed of managed or unmanaged services. Walk through a sample alerting scenario and learn how Thundra helps pinpoint and resolve the problem.
