This course was developed by members of AWS Technical Field Communities (TFC), an AWS community of technical experts. The content is intended to complement our standard training curriculum and augment your AWS learning journey.
This intermediate-level Application Performance Monitoring (APM) course teaches builders how to monitor their .NET applications using Amazon CloudWatch Application Signals. You will learn to automatically instrument your applications with OpenTelemetry, visualize application health through service maps, create service level objectives (SLOs), and troubleshoot performance issues using correlated telemetry data. You will gain practical experience deploying and monitoring .NET microservices applications on Amazon EKS.
