@randomfrequency@ripienaar@TaloHQ Oh, yes. Cloudwatch is a firehouse of operational health and performance metrics. Cloudtrail (probably less of a firehouse) but more for AWS state changes. Both pretty useful for understanding evolution of your infrastructure.
@randomfrequency@ripienaar It’s pretty impressive. There is about a 5 to 10 min lag but AWS emits literally all AWS changes via Cloudtrail. Even console logins. We have a hook that gets this right into https://t.co/YcI4VBWNIZ and cleans up the event data a bit.
Years ago I did some POC on social networks for servers where their event stream can be made accessible and user friendly. We follow 1000s on twitter effectively those tools like hashtags make sense for machines too.
@deltatrail looks like an interesting entry in this space
We are almost done with our AWS Cloudtrail plug-in. Any AWS change (even a login) triggers a Deltatrail log entry. Pretty cool considering, anecdotally, some have found correlation between AWS logins and outages. 😂 We believe it! #logyourchanges#devops
