Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS now offer enhanced AI-powered troubleshooting in the Console

Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) now offer enhanced AI-powered troubleshooting experiences in the AWS Management Console through Amazon Q Developer. The new AI-powered experiences appear contextually alongside error or status messages in the console, helping customers root cause issues and view mitigation suggestions with a single click.

In the ECS Console, customers can use the new “Inspect with Amazon Q” button to troubleshoot issues such as failed tasks, container health check failures, or deployment rollbacks. Simply click the status reason on task details, task definition details, or deployment details page, and click “Inspect with Amazon Q” from the popover to start troubleshooting with context from the issue provided to the agent for you. Once clicked, Amazon Q automatically uses appropriate AI tools to analyze the issue, gather the relevant logs and metrics, help you understand the root cause, and recommend mitigation actions.

The Amazon EKS console integrates Amazon Q throughout the observability dashboard, enabling you to inspect and troubleshoot cluster, control plane, and node health issues with contextual AI assistance. Simply click "Inspect with Amazon Q" directly from tables that outline issues, or click on an issue to view details and then select "Inspect with Amazon Q" to begin your investigation. The Q-powered experience provides deeper understanding of cluster-level insights, such as upgrade insights, helping you proactively identify and mitigate potential issues. Amazon Q also streamlines workload troubleshooting by helping you investigate Kubernetes events on pods that indicate issues, accelerating root cause identification and resolution.

Amazon Q integration in the Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS consoles is now available in all AWS commercial regions. To learn more, visit the ECS developer guide and EKS user guide.
