Creating just any infrastructure on Kubernetes is not enough. There are so many basic configurations you could apply and create the infrastructure for your application for the time being and it might work just fine. The incident responses won’t always remain 100% reliable. You will run into newer potholes, and that’s okay.

Out of more than 100 services that Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides, Amazon CloudWatch was one of the earliest services provided by AWS. CloudWatch was announced on May 17th, 2009, and it was the 7th service released after S3, SQS, SimpleDB, EBS, EC2, and EMR. AWS CloudWatch is a suite of tools that encompasses a wide range of cloud resources, including collecting logs and metrics; monitoring; visualization and alerting; and automated action in response to operational health changes.

Business-critical infrastructure and services generate massive volumes of observability data from many disparate sources. It can be challenging to synthesize all this data to gain actionable insights for detecting and remediating issues—particularly in the heat of incident response.

A couple of weeks ago I had the absolute joy of attending KCD Munich for the first time, with my friend and colleague Guy Menahem (whom some of you know simply as The Good Guy on Twitter and YouTube).

That’s where a Git GUI comes in handy.
