Tag: Amazon CloudWatch Synthetics

Managing a cloud infrastructure consisting of multiple AWS accounts is an important but also complex topic for Well-Architected cloud environments. The superwerker on AWS Quick Start provides an automation of what consultants charged with building a platform and landing zone would build for a customer. As an individual consulting solution, this typically involves a mix of consulting and hands-on click ops, as well as building some automation in the customer’s preferred infrastructure provisioning tooling.

Amazon CloudWatch Synthetics monitors RESTful APIs, URLs, and website content endpoints via synthetic traffic. Dynatrace also offers powerful, integrated synthetic capabilities, but if you use both CloudWatch and Dynatrace you have to switch between their consoles to check status. Now, you can integrate CloudWatch Synthetics into Dynatrace and check for unexpected behavior across both platforms from a single dashboard in your Dynatrace account.
