Container Insights with enhanced observability now available in Amazon ECS

Last year, we announced enhanced observability in Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights, a new capability to improve your observability for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). This capability helps you detect and fix container issues faster by providing detailed performance metrics and logs. Expanding this capability, today we’re launching enhanced observability for your container workloads running on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). This new capability will help reduce your mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to repair (MTTR) for your overall applications, helping prevent issues that could negatively impact your user experience. Here’s a quick look at Container Insights with enhanced observability for Amazon ECS. Container Insights with enhanced observability addresses a critical gap in container monitoring. Previously,…
