Incident Response with AWS Systems Manager

The typical DevOps on-call engineer is responding to alerts, triaging based on service impact, troubleshooting high priority incidents, and taking action to remediate issues. Automation tools like AWS Systems Manager can be a big help in reducing some of the more repetitive work and allowing engineers to focus on the most important tasks.

Meet Opsgenie at AWS re:Invent 2018-Making Incident Response Faster and More Efficient

It’s an exciting time here at Opsgenie. We recently joined the Atlassian family, updated our logo, released new pricing, and now we’re headed to AWS re:Invent 2018! So much has changed since last year’s event and we can’t wait to talk about it in person.

The Language of Incident Management

The way people communicate during "peacetime" and "wartime" is very different. When at peace, we are able to be more casual and creative with the words we use. During wartime, this changes.

Language used across the high technology ecosystem is dynamic to say the least.
