Building the future of cloud operations at any scale (COP202)

Summary of the Video Transcription

Highlights:

  • AWS is building the future of cloud operations, a unified experience that every SRE, IT operator, DevOps engineer, cloud architect, and application developer can benefit from.
  • The key idea is to connect AWS services more harmoniously and seamlessly so that customers don't have to stitch things together to make information come together.
  • The presentation covers three key pillars of cloud operations: governance, observability, and analytics.

Governance

  • AWS is launching enhanced node management capabilities in Systems Manager to provide consistent visibility into all resources across AWS, on-premises, and multi-cloud environments.
  • New preventative controls include declarative policies and resource control policies to prevent non-compliant actions in the environment.
  • Capital One, a customer, shares how they leveraged AWS services like CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and Config to build and manage complex infrastructure, improve resiliency, cost management, and governance.

Observability

  • CloudWatch, AWS's flagship observability product, is used to monitor over 20 quadrillion metric observations per month.
  • New features in CloudWatch include:
    • Explore and investigate to help navigate across infrastructure and application architecture
    • Network monitoring to monitor TCP traffic between AWS resources
    • Database Insights to monitor the health of the database fleet
    • Enhanced Container Insights for ECS

Analytics

  • AWS is making it easier to analyze performance issues and gather insights from data, regardless of where the data resides.
  • New features include:
    • Application transaction spans in CloudWatch to track 100% of application spans as logs
    • Ability to use CloudWatch Logs or OpenSearch interchangeably to investigate log data
    • Unified view to see all operational data from multiple sources

Conclusion

  • The vision is to provide a unified cloud operations experience that integrates all AWS services, so customers don't have to copy data, maintain context, or maintain expensive ETL pipelines, and can focus on their business while AWS handles the heavy lifting.
