In this blog post, we will show how to use Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion to deliver CloudWatch logs to OpenSearch Serverless in near real-time. We outline a mechanism to connect a Lambda subscription filter with OpenSearch Ingestion and deliver logs to OpenSearch Serverless without explicitly needing a separate subscription filter for it.

This post demonstrates how to implement a simple SparkListener, monitor and observe Spark streaming applications, and set up some alerts. The post also shows how to use alerts to set up automatic scaling on Amazon EMR clusters, based on your CloudWatch custom metrics.

A customer has been successfully creating and running multiple Amazon Elasticsearch Service (Amazon ES) domains to support their business users’ search needs across products, orders, support documentation, and a growing suite of similar needs.

Because of this increased usage, the technical teams were in danger of missing their service level agreements. They contacted me for help.

This post shows how you can set up automated alarms to warn when domains need attention.

This solution provides a serverless approach to automatically assigning a friendly name for your EMR cluster for easy access to popular notebooks and other web interfaces.
