DevOps Guru: ML-Powered Cloud Operations Service to Improve Application Availability
Amazon DevOps Guru is an easy to implement Machine Learning (ML) service that makes it easy to improve an application’s operational performance and availability. This feature detects behaviors that deviate from normal operating patterns so you can identify operational issues proactively before they happen.
DevOps Guru identifies anomalous application behavior (e.g. increased latency, error rates, resource constraints, etc.) that could cause potential outages or service disruptions. When a critical issue is identified, it automatically sends an alert with a summary of related anomalies, the likely root cause, context about when and where the issue occurred, and remediation recommendations if possible.
