In this lab, we will set up a comprehensive monitoring solution using AWS CloudWatch. Participants will learn to configure log and metric collection, aggregation, and storage to effectively monitor an application ecosystem. Key components will include CloudWatch Logs, Metrics, and Dashboards to visualize application performance and health. The lab simulates a real-world scenario where the user has to implement a monitoring strategy for a fictitious company, aiming for enhanced observability and incident response capabilities. This hands-on experience is tailored to prepare users for real-world challenges as well as the AWS Certified DevOps Engineer exam.
You are a DevOps engineer at a growing e-commerce platform, ShopSwift. The company is releasing new features rapidly, requiring you to implement a robust monitoring solution to ensure system reliability and performance. Due to recent outages, management is prioritizing enhanced incident response and proactive issue detection. You need to set up comprehensive monitoring across several services running on AWS to provide insights into system health and optimize troubleshooting workflows.
