Summary
In this chapter, we saw how Container Insights helps you automate the collection, aggregation, and visualization of key container metrics. We saw how to activate it on both Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS, two major container orchestration services on AWS. We also saw how to integrate App Mesh to add network spice to our observability recipe. In the end, we saw how to use the acquired new skills to identify and isolate a CPU peak using the tools.
As we highlighted in the introduction, all those skills will be invaluable as more and more organizations move their workloads to containers.
As you move forward modernizing your workloads, the next natural step is to use Lambda functions. In the next chapter, we will explore how to speed up the process of collecting, aggregating, and visualizing metrics for Lambda functions.
