Simplifying and Validating the Control Plane
In this lab, you'll simplify the monitoring and scaling control plane of an AWS compute environment by removing unnecessary complexity and preserving visibility into important system behavior. Using insight from alarm analysis, you'll consolidate monitoring signals to reduce operational noise.
