Designing observability for resilience
In the previous section, we learned the importance of observability and logging key metrics to achieve reliability. In this section, we will learn how to design observability for common resources and applications to achieve resilience in your environment.
Steps in designing observability
Designing observability for resilience on the AWS cloud involves several steps and considerations. Here are some best practices to help you achieve this:
- Define resilience requirements: Identify the critical services and systems that require high availability and resilience. Determine the maximum acceptable downtime and the recovery time objectives (RTOs) for each service. This will help you focus your observability efforts on the most critical components.
- Instrument your applications and services: Use AWS tools such as AWS X-Ray, AWS CloudWatch, and AWS Lambda to collect metrics, logs, and traces from your applications and services. This will...
