Source: APM in the new normal, survey by eG Innovations and DevOps Institute Cloud adoption is increasing at a rapid pace. The eG Innovations & DevOps Institute APM survey indicates that 88% of organizations are using at least one form of cloud technology. Organizations move to the cloud for agility – they can deploy and have applications running in the cloud in minutes. Cloud computing also offers options for high availability, automated backups, and such.

In this blog post, I follow on from my previous blog on AWS CloudWatch Part 1 of 2 to explore how you can go beyond basic agentless CloudWatch monitoring by deploying the CloudWatch agent and some of the key information and planning you need to do this.

While the initial solution enabled you to get alert notifications by email, we knew that the next step was to give you more control over where you receive alerts.

There’s a lot to consider when engineering and implementing software, whether as an update patch or a newly-introduced product. End users have certain expectations when introduced to new or updated software—at the top of the list are aesthetics, ease of use, stability, and response time—the last two of which can be significantly improved when you employ application performance management or APM.
