AWS customers often have many users and groups within their organization utilizing Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) buckets. In addition, customers often need a way to accurately understand the costs on a per-bucket basis for cost observability and charge back mechanisms. This is also important if a customer is entering the AWS Migration Acceleration […]

In previous posts we discussed how AWS Service Catalog AppRegistry helps you group applications and application resources within a single context. You can define applications within AppRegistry by providing a name, description, associations to AWS CloudFormation stacks, and associations to application metadata. It is common for customers to deploy applications with CloudFormation across multiple AWS […]

Customers using Prometheus in self-hosted environments face challenges in managing a highly-available, scalable and secure Prometheus server environment, infrastructure for long-term storage, and access control. Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, a Prometheus-compatible monitoring service for infrastructure and application metrics, solves these problems by providing a fully-managed environment which is tightly integrated with AWS Identity and […]

As you migrate workloads to AWS and increase consumption of AWS services, it becomes critical to have a comprehensive view of the value of AWS, as well as to track and effectively manage your AWS cost and usage.
