.NET observability with Amazon CloudWatch Application Signals
This blog post provides a detailed walkthrough on integrating Amazon CloudWatch Application Signals with .NET applications deployed on an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster. The solution uses CloudWatch Observability Add-On for EKS to enable the .NET applications to emit telemetry signals using OpenTelemetry automatically. Introduction Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced Amazon CloudWatch Application Signals during […]
MultiCloud cost visibility with Amazon QuickSight and FOCUS
Customers with multi-cloud environments struggle to effectively track and manage their usage and costs. They access the individual billing portals of each cloud provider to gather cost information.

This […]
.NET observability with Amazon CloudWatch and AWS X-Ray: Part 2 — Logging
Building a well-architected .NET application goes beyond just coding and deploying. You must monitor performance, trace transactions, collect logs, gather metrics, and trigger alarms when metrics breach thresholds. To achieve this, you can design and implement telemetry to enable observability capabilities. In the first part of this blog series, I covered the implementation of metrics. […]
