Monitor, log, and trace your cloud applications using the power of AWS' myriad observability tools to ensure the systems you build are resilient Key Features * Implement observability in your cloud applications and systems with the power of AWS * Ensure your customers' satisfaction by identifying and fixing bottlenecks quickly * Learn from the experts to get the best possible insight into AWS' observability solutions Book Description Cloud observability is complex if you're new to the cloud and even if you're an experienced cloud practitioner. Thankfully, the world's most popular cloud provider, AWS, provides multiple tools for identifying performance bottlenecks in modern distributed applications. An Insider's Guide to Observability on AWS will help you use these tools to provide the logging, monitoring, and tracing that your systems need to be as efficient as possible. This comprehensive guide to observability on AWS covers all the bases, taking you from basic observability with CloudWatch, through automated observability, to machine-learning-powered tools such as AWS DevOps Guru, and everything in between. You'll learn how to implement observability in containers, in serverless applications, and for user experience monitoring. This is truly an all-encompassing guide that leaves no stone unturned in its quest to give you the knowledge, skills, and practice to implement observability in your applications from end to end and visualize the results using the wide range of tools provided by AWS. You'll also see some of the guidelines and best practices, such as how the Well-Architected Framework relates to observability. By the end of the book, you will find it easy to implement observability in your applications using AWS' native and managed open source tools. What you will learn * Take metrics from an EC2 instance and visualize them in a dashboard * Conduct distributed tracing using AWS X-Ray * Derive operational metrics using CloudWatch Logs * Achieve observability of containerized applications in ECS and EKS * Use CloudWatch and Lambda Insights to monitor serverless applications * Visualize your insights with Amazon Managed Grafana * Harness the power of the ELK stack with OpenSearch * Scale the observability of applications in complex organizations Who This Book Is For This book is intended for SREs, cloud developers and DevOps engineers using AWS native services and tools as well as open source managed services on AWS to achieve the required observability targets. It will also provide guidance to Solution Architects on achieving operational excellence in adopting cloud observability solutions for the workloads. Readers need to have a basic understanding of AWS cloud fundamentals and different services available on AWS cloud to run their applications like EC2, storage solutions like S3, container solutions like ECS, EKS, etc.
