Look inside

You and your DevOps team have successfully built an application and an automated deployment pipeline for it. But before you can launch you’ll need a solid operating plan that addresses how you’ll monitor and troubleshoot your new service in production. In this liveProject, you’ll add metrics and a CloudWatch Container Insight dashboard to your Fargate service. You’ll also enable autoscaling to adjust according to CPU usage, and you’ll structure logging to be easily searched. Lastly, you’ll use Python to set up alarms so you’ll know when something goes wrong.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
