AWS CloudWatch - With Jo Peterson
Transcript
welcome I'm Joe Peterson I'm the vice president of cloud and security for clarify 360. and I am here on behalf of the CTO advisor and their AWS everyday Series so today let's talk about Amazon Cloud watch cloudwatch is a monitoring and management service that provides data and actionable insight for AWS hybrid and on-premises applications and infrastructure resources you can collect and access all of your performance and operational data in the form of logs and metrics from a single platform rather than monitoring them in silos servers Network database cloudwatch enables you to monitor your complete stack and that includes applications infrastructure Network and services and it'll let you use alarms logs and events data to take automated action and reduce mean time to resolution this frees up important resources and allows you to focus on building applications and business value cloudwatch gives you actionable insights that help you optimize application performance manage resource utilization and understand system-wide operational health cloudwatch provides you one second visibility of metrics and log data 15 months of data retention metrics and the ability to perform calculations on metrics this allows you to perform historical analysis for cost optimization and derive real-time insights into optimizing applications and infrastructure resources you can use cloudwatch container insights to monitor troubleshoot and alert your containerized applications and microservices cloudwatch collects Aggregates and summarizes utilization information such as CPU memory disk and network data as well as diagnostic information such as container restart failures to help devops Engineers isolate issues and resolve them quickly container insights gives you insights from container Management Services such as Amazon ECS for kubernetes Amazon elastic container service and AWS fargate and Standalone kubernetes k-8s so what are a couple ways you can use it well monitor application performance visualize performance data create alarms and correlate data to understand and resolve the root cause of performance issues in your AWS resources form root cause analysis analyze metrics logs log analytics and user requests to speed up debugging and overall mean time to resolution optimize resource proactively automate resource planning and lower your costs by setting actions to occur when thresholds are met based on your specifications or machine learning models test website impacts and find out exactly when your website is impacted and for how long by viewing screenshots logs and web requests at any point in time thanks for joining today
