HAQM DevOps Guru for RDS is a new Machine Learning (ML) powered capability for HAQM Relational Database Service (HAQM RDS) that automatically detects and diagnoses database performance and operational issues, enabling you to resolve bottlenecks in minutes rather than days. HAQM DevOps Guru for RDS is a feature of HAQM DevOps Guru, which detects operational and performance related issues for all HAQM RDS engines and dozens of other resource types. DevOps Guru for RDS expands upon the existing capabilities of DevOps Guru to detect, diagnose, and provide remediation recommendations for a wide variety of database-related performance issues, such as resource over-utilization and misbehavior of SQL queries. When an issue occurs, DevOps Guru for RDS immediately notifies developers and DevOps engineers and provides diagnostic information, details on the extent of the problem, and intelligent remediation recommendations to help customers quickly resolve the issue.

DevOps Guru for RDS is available for HAQM Aurora MySQL and PostgreSQL–Compatible Editions in the following AWS regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (Stockholm), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo). 

HAQM Aurora combines the performance and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. It provides up to three times better performance than the typical PostgreSQL database, together with increased scalability, durability, and security. For more information, please visit the HAQM Aurora product page.

HAQM DevOps Guru is an ML powered service that makes it easy to improve an application’s operational performance and availability. By analyzing application metrics, logs, events, and traces, DevOps Guru identifies behaviors that deviate from normal operating patterns and creates an insight that alerts developers with issue details. When possible DevOps Guru, also provides proposed remedial steps via HAQM Simple Notification Service (SNS) and partner integrations, like Atlassian Opsgenie and PagerDuty.
