Infrastructure is a complex and difficult concept for developers. When an issue occurs, where do you even begin to look? I’ve spent years of my life playing the “What looks like one but not like the other” game, wrestling with confirmation bias and hunting through haystacks of logs to find a clue to my hosted applications. This takes away from time spent improving my applications—and it isn’t fun.

CloudWatch metrics play a critical role in monitoring AWS resources and facilitating effective troubleshooting during system failures. It allows for continuous monitoring of AWS resources like EC2 instances, Lambda functions, and RDS databases. Using Cloudwatch metrics, DevOps teams can monitor and manage their AWS infrastructure easily. Amazon CloudWatch is a comprehensive monitoring and observability service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

DevOps has accelerated the delivery of software, but it has also made it more difficult to stay on top of compliance issues and security threats. When applications, environments and infrastructure are constantly changing it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain a handle on compliance and security. For fast-moving teams, real time security monitoring has become essential for quickly identifying risky changes so they can be remediated before they result in security failure.

When troubleshooting distributed applications, you can use Cloud Trace and Cloud Logging together to perform root cause analysis.

In the vast landscape of connectivity, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) serve as the architects behind the intricate web that links residential users and businesses to the global digital realm. ISP networks are a sophisticated combination of technologies and infrastructure that require efficient management from administrators for maximum value for all parties involved.

When an incident occurs, every second counts. On-call staff need to quickly get all the relevant information in front of them in a way that’s easy to digest so they can more successfully investigate the issue and communicate with relevant stakeholders.

In this livestream, Ahmed Kira and I provided more details about the Cribl Stream Reference Architecture, which is designed to help observability admins achieve faster and more valuable stream deployment. We explained the guidelines for deploying the comprehensive reference architecture to meet the needs of large customers with diverse, high-volume data flows. Then, we shared different use cases and discussed their pros and cons.

OpenTelemetry vs Prometheus is a commonly searched and debated topic in the Observability and monitoring space. While both platforms are widely used in software and infrastructure management today, most people don’t understand the difference between the two. Both platforms stand as robust tools in the realm of observability, each offering unique capabilities. OpenTelemetry offers a uniform approach for gathering, instrumenting, and exporting telemetry data.
