Incident Manager from AWS Systems Manager expands support for runbook automation

Incident Manager, a capability of AWS Systems Manager, announces expanded support for runbook automation to speed up incident diagnosis and resolution. AWS Systems Manager is the operations hub for your AWS applications and resources, helping you automate reactive processes to quickly diagnose and remediate operational issues. Customers can now build incident runbooks that automatically run remediation actions on the involved resources, such as turning on auto-scaling on a DynamoDB table that is approaching capacity before engaging the on-call engineer. Customers can also invoke additional runbooks directly from the Incident Manager console to help resolve the incident faster.

Metric support now available in AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry

Today, we are announcing the general availability of AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) for metrics, a secure, production-ready, AWS-supported distribution of the OpenTelemetry project. With this launch, customers can use OpenTelemetry APIs and SDKs in Java, .Net, and JavaScript to collect and send metrics to Amazon CloudWatch, Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, and other monitoring destinations supported by the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP). Part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), OpenTelemetry provides open source APIs, libraries, and agents to collect distributed traces and metrics for application and infrastructure monitoring. With ADOT, you can instrument your applications just once to send metrics and traces to multiple monitoring solutions and use auto-instrumentation agents to collect traces and metrics without changing your code. Use AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry to instrument your applications running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling now backfills Predictive Scaling forecasts so you can quickly validate forecast accuracy

Starting today, when you create a new predictive scaling policy, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling goes back 14 days to generate capacity forecasts for the past dates, enabling you to see how predictive scaling would have scaled your Auto Scaling group. This allows you to quickly decide if the predictive scaling policy is accurate for your applications by comparing the demand and capacity forecasts against the actuals immediately after you create a predictive scaling policy. Previously, you would have had to wait at least a few days after creating the policy to build up sufficient forecast history for the same comparison to determine the forecast accuracy.
