This blog post provides a detailed walkthrough on integrating HAQM CloudWatch Application Signals with .NET applications deployed on an HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster. The solution uses CloudWatch Observability Add-On for EKS to enable the .NET applications to emit telemetry signals using OpenTelemetry automatically. Introduction HAQM Web Services (AWS) announced HAQM CloudWatch Application Signals during […]

Introduction In this blog post, I am going to show you how easy it is to deploy a secure infrastructure to manage your HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2) instances for Microsoft Windows Server through the automation provided by AWS Launch Wizard. AWS Launch Wizard offers a guided way of sizing, configuring, and deploying AWS […]

In this blog post, we will show how to reduce the administrative burden of enabling HAQM CloudWatch memory metric monitoring on Windows Server EC2 instances using AWS Systems Manager automation. Once enabled, we will show how memory monitoring benefits downstream services like AWS Compute Optimizer to provide accurate cost savings recommendations. Monitoring is an important […]

In this blog post, we will demonstrate how you can set up self-managed licenses to be tracked automatically through tagging. Managing licenses for software running on HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2) is critical for compliance and auditing purposes. HAQM Web Services (AWS) provides a free tool, AWS License Manager, to help you manage your licenses. However, license […]

In this blog post, I will explain how to utilize Group Policy Objects (GPOs) to configure Microsoft Active Directory (AD) to use the HAQM Time Sync Service for time synchronization. Additionally, I will explain how to monitor and alert on the time synchronization health of the domain with HAQM CloudWatch and HAQM Simple Notification Service. […]

In this deep-dive blog post, we will go through a step-by-step guide on how to capture Windows Failover Cluster Event Viewer logs using HAQM CloudWatch agent and send alerts using HAQM Simple Notification Service (HAQM SNS). Introduction Windows Event Viewer logs are a crucial aspect of monitoring and troubleshooting Windows systems. However, manually reviewing these […]

Building a well-architected .NET application goes beyond just coding and deploying. You must monitor performance, trace transactions, collect logs, gather metrics, and trigger alarms when metrics breach thresholds. To achieve this, you can design and implement telemetry to enable observability capabilities. In the first part of this blog series, I covered the implementation of metrics. […]
