Optimize AWS event and log collection using common design patterns

Learn about some common approaches for collecting data from multiple AWS services across your organization, including common patterns with code samples that you can reuse to consume the data.

Reduce costs with an ephemeral Amazon FSx for Lustre file system

Create an ephemeral Amazon FSx for Lustre file system that’s active on an as-needed basis, allowing you to pay for services only when the system is used. With the file system running only when needed, you can still benefit from a powerful system with fast processing speeds without the high costs associated with a continuously running implementation.

Keep your AWS resources when you rename an AWS CloudFormation stack

Learn how to change the name of a CloudFormation stack without deleting the resources that it manages. In the walkthrough, which uses a simple architecture with a single resource, a virtual private cloud (VPC), you add a Retain attribute to the resource’s deletion policy so that the resource isn’t lost when that stack is deleted.

Reduce log-storage costs by automating retention settings in Amazon CloudWatch

Learn how to reduce log-storage costs by automating retention settings in Amazon CloudWatch. By default, CloudWatch Logs stores log data indefinitely, which is helpful. But as AWS workload logging grows, so do your log-storage costs. To reduce costs, establish a log-retention policy and apply it across all your log groups, ideally automatically.

Collect custom metrics with Amazon CloudWatch strategic tagging

Learn how to use an Amazon CloudWatch agent to automate the collection of custom metrics for two Amazon EC2 instances. The solution is based on a tagging strategy combined with AWS Systems Manager State Manager to enforce specific CloudWatch agent configurations for EC2 instances that are tagged appropriately.
