Introduction to AWS Observability in Grafana Cloud

Learn how to monitor and troubleshoot your AWS environment using Grafana Cloud’s centralized AWS Observability solution

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll troubleshoot live issues in services like AWS Lambda and Amazon ECS using Grafana Cloud’s observability solutions for AWS. You’ll also learn workflows and discover tools to help you achieve faster resolution.

This workshop gives you a complete playbook for AWS observability in Grafana Cloud. First, we will establish the foundation, by covering the core principles and challenges of AWS observability. Then, you will jump into a pre-configured lab environment, using Grafana Cloud to solve problems, analyze performance, and gain deep insights into a live AWS environment.

What you’ll learn:

• The core principles and common challenges of effective AWS observability
• How metrics, logs, traces and cost data correlate in a single view using a live AWS environment in Grafana Cloud
• How to instantly analyze the health of AWS services, like AWS Lambda, Amazon ECS, and Amazon RDS, using Grafana Cloud’s curated AWS Observability solution
• Powerful troubleshooting workflows that bring you from a high-level alert down to the specific trace causing the issue
• How to build a custom dashboard that goes beyond CloudWatch defaults and turns AWS telemetry into a clear view of your application’s health
• Plus: Get your questions answered during a Q&A session with Grafana observability experts

This workshop is designed for anyone who wants to understand more about using Grafana Cloud as a unified observability platform for AWS. For engineers and SREs, you will get hands-on experience using Grafana Cloud for faster troubleshooting, helping you reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR). For engineering managers and team leads, you will see firsthand how it improves team efficiency and helps you make better decisions about your infrastructure.

A basic understanding of AWS services and familiarity with monitoring concepts is recommended.
