Amazon Q Developer adds operational investigation capability (Preview)
Amazon Q Developer now helps you accelerate operational investigations across your AWS environment in just a fraction of the time. With a deep understanding of your AWS cloud environment and resources, Amazon Q Developer looks for anomalies in your environment, surfaces related signals for you to explore, identifies potential root-cause hypothesis, and suggests next steps to help you remediate issues faster.
Amazon Q Developer works alongside you throughout your operational troubleshooting journey from issue detection and triaging, through remediation. You can initiate an investigation by selecting the Investigate action on any Amazon CloudWatch data widget across the AWS Management Console. You can also configure Amazon Q to automatically investigate when a CloudWatch alarm is triggered. When an investigation starts, Amazon Q Developer sifts through various signals about your AWS environment including CloudWatch telemetry, AWS CloudTrail Logs, deployment information, changes to resource configuration, and AWS Health events.
CloudWatch now provides a dedicated investigation experience where teams can collaborate and add findings, view related signals and anomalies, and review suggestions for potential root cause hypotheses. This new capability also provides remediation suggestions for common operational issues across your AWS environment by surfacing relevant AWS Systems Manager Automation runbooks, AWS re:Post articles, and documentation. It also integrates with your existing operational workflows such as Slack via AWS Chatbot.
The new operational investigation capability within Amazon Q Developer is available at no additional cost during preview in the US East (N. Virginia) Region. To learn more, see getting started and best practice documentation.
