White Paper
Container Monitoring Observability
This AWS and Splunk white paper outlines best practices for monitoring containerized workloads on AWS. It emphasizes observability across Amazon ECS, EKS, and Fargate using metrics, logs, and traces. Key steps include integrating Splunk Observability Cloud for real-time visibility, leveraging AWS CloudWatch and X-Ray, and correlating data across layers. Automation, alerting, and anomaly detection improve MTTR, while container-aware dashboards aid troubleshooting. Security integration, cost optimization, and scalability are addressed, ensuring resilient, high-performance container deployments in dynamic cloud-native environments.
