For production applications, the Mean-Time-To-Recovery (MTTR) is critical. In line with this, AWS offers Business, Enterprise On-Ramp and Enterprise support plans where AWS customers can benefit from shorter response time for cases related to production and business critical workloads. However, without having an automated way to notify AWS support, creating a case is a manual […]

Overview Effective operation of cloud applications and services demands a strong focus on monitoring and observability. It’s critical for your teams to define, capture, and analyze metrics, ensuring operational visibility and extracting actionable insights from logs. In many companies, technical teams share integrated systems to monitor the services or infrastructure they manage. Shared observability systems […]

Observability describes how well you can understand what is happening in a system, often by instrumenting it to collect metrics, logs, and traces. To achieve operational excellence and meet business objectives, you need to understand how your systems are performing. In order to accomplish this, many customers use Amazon CloudWatch to get real-time monitoring, alerts […]

In 2022 Amazon Web Services (AWS) released AWS CloudTrail Lake, a managed audit and security lake that allows you to aggregate, immutably store, visualize, and query your activity logs for auditing, security investigation, and operational troubleshooting.  Working backwards from our customers we have added capabilities to CloudTrail Lake such as the ability to copy CloudTrail events into […]

As machine learning (ML) workloads continue to grow in popularity, many customers are looking to run them on Kubernetes with graphics processing unit (GPU) support. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances powered by NVIDIA GPUs deliver the scalable performance needed for fast ML training and cost-effective ML inference. Monitoring GPU utilization gives valuable information for researchers working […]

Overview Maintaining and improving end user experience is key and as your business grows, the number of endpoints you need to observe can grow quickly. It can become more challenging and time consuming to build multiple canaries to observe them. This solution is designed to show how you can use a consistent and automated approach […]

Introduction In this blog post, we will share how you can use AWS-native observability tools to measure the current state of your modern serverless applications and how to get started with the minimal effort. We will review tools like Amazon CloudWatch and AWS X-Ray and explore how these services can help you instrument your application […]

Introduction Lambda@Edge is a powerful feature of Amazon CloudFront that allows you to execute serverless code closer to your application users, resulting in improved performance and reduced latency. By distributing Lambda@Edge functions to edge locations worldwide, AWS ensures that the code executes closer to end users, providing faster response times. Moreover, the serverless nature of […]

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) emits several metrics for your EC2 instance to Amazon CloudWatch. However, memory metrics isn’t one of the default metrics provided by Amazon EC2. Several memory heavy applications like Big Data Analytics, In-memory Databases, Real-time Streaming require you to monitor memory utilization on the instances for operational visibility. These applications […]

Back in July 2022, we announced AWS config compliance scores for conformance packs which helps you quantify your compliance posture as an Amazon CloudWatch metric. It’s a quantitative measure of compliance status. While customers can have hundreds of AWS accounts where AWS Config is enabled and each account and each AWS Region have a different compliance score. While […]
