Amazon CloudWatch Application Signals for automatic instrumentation of your applications (preview)
One of the challenges with distributed systems is that they are made up of many interdependent services, which add a degree of complexity when you are trying to monitor their performance. Determining which services and APIs are experiencing high latencies or degraded availability requires manually putting together telemetry signals. This can result in time and effort establishing the root cause of any issues with the system due to the inconsistent experiences across metrics, traces, logs, real user monitoring, and synthetic monitoring. You want to provide your customers with continuously available and high-performing applications. At the same time, the monitoring that assures this must be efficient, cost-effective, and without undifferentiated heavy lifting. Amazon CloudWatch Application Signals helps you automatically instrument applications…

Easily deploy SaaS products with new Quick Launch in AWS Marketplace
Today we are excited to announce the general availability of SaaS Quick Launch, a new feature in AWS Marketplace that makes it easy and secure to deploy SaaS products. Before SaaS Quick Launch, configuring and launching third-party SaaS products could be time-consuming and costly, especially in certain categories like security and monitoring. Some products require hours of engineering time to manually set up permissions policies and cloud infrastructure. Manual multistep configuration processes also introduce risks when buyers rely on unvetted deployment templates and instructions from third-party resources. SaaS Quick Launch helps buyers make the deployment process easy, fast, and secure by offering step-by-step instructions and resource deployment using preconfigured AWS CloudFormation templates. The software vendor and AWS validate these templates…
