In Part 1 of this series, we showed you the key metrics you can monitor to understand the health of your Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS clusters running on AWS Fargate. In this post, we’ll show you how you can: You can use Amazon CloudWatch and related AWS services to gain visibility into your ECS clusters and the Fargate infrastructure that runs them.

In Part 1 of this series, we looked at the important metrics to monitor when you’re running ECS or EKS on AWS Fargate. In Part 2 we showed you how to use Amazon CloudWatch and other tools to collect those metrics plus logs from your application containers. Fargate’s serverless container platform helps users deploy and manage ECS and EKS applications, but the dynamic nature of containers makes them challenging to monitor.

Amazon Web Services is a comprehensive, well-supported cloud service that is continuously growing and evolving. As cloud technology continues to boom, enterprises all across the globe are increasingly depending on cloud service providers to manage their workloads, data, and applications.

Snapshots in Azure is a nice feature that allows you to take a read-only, “point in time” snapshot of a Virtual Machine’s disk. You can take a snapshot of a VM’s OS or data disk. You can use this snapshot to revert the VM to a point in time before an event occurred, or you installed something that didn’t go quite right.

One question we frequently hear from customers using the Microsoft stack is, “should I use Git or TFS?” The question requires a little decoding due to the way that Microsoft has shifted their brands over time. Here’s some background. Many people still refer to this as “TFS,” regardless of the version they are using. TFVC used to be the default type of repo for TFS projects.

Azure Event Hubs are cloud-scale telemetry ingestion from websites, apps, and devices. Because of the tremendous event handling capacities, IoT architectures also consume the Azure Event Hubs. Thus, we talk about handling millions of events per second. With the implementation of multiple partition architecture behind the scenes, Azure Event Hubs are highly scalable to receive events from hundreds of sources.

What if I told you that a text file could help you tackle the normally tedious and time-consuming task of setting up and managing your AWS infrastructure? Good news. It’s actually easy to do with an AWS CloudFormation template. A typical AWS infrastructure can consist of numerous resources that might need to be managed across different accounts and regions. Setup is often a manual process that can be overwhelming to maintain.

Cloud Monitoring is one of the easiest ways you can gain visibility into the performance, availability, and health of your applications and infrastructure. Today, we’re excited to announce the lifting of three limits within Cloud Monitoring. First, the maximum number of projects that you can view together is now 375 (up from 100). Customers with 375 or fewer projects can view all their metrics at once, by putting all their projects within a single workspace.
