Amazon DevOps Guru is a service powered by machine learning (ML), available for all Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) engines, that helps make it easy to improve an application’s operational performance and availability.
Amazon DevOps Guru for RDS is an ML-powered capability that is designed to empower developers and DevOps engineers to quickly detect, diagnose, and remediate a wide variety of database-related issues in Amazon RDS. When DevOps Guru for RDS detects a database-related issue (such as resource overutilization, or misbehavior of certain SQL queries), the service immediately notifies you and provides diagnostic information, details on the extent of the problem, and intelligent recommendations to help quickly resolve the issue.
With DevOps Guru for RDS, you can monitor your databases for performance bottlenecks and operational issues—no manual setup, ML expertise, or deep database expertise required. To get started turn on Amazon RDS Performance Insights on the Amazon RDS console and navigate to the Amazon DevOps Guru console to enable the service for your Amazon RDS resources, other supported resources, or your entire account. You can also turn on Amazon DevOps Guru for RDS for an Amazon RDS database while creating a new database from within the Amazon RDS Console. Additionally, you also have an option to enable Amazon DevOps Guru for RDS from within the Performance Insights page.
Amazon DevOps Guru for RDS currently supports Amazon Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition, Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition and Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL, with expanded support for additional Amazon RDS database engines coming later.
Benefits
Amazon DevOps Guru for RDS continuously analyzes database telemetry such as DB load, database counters, and metrics for the operating system that your database instance runs on to automatically detect and correlate related anomalies and help resolve relational database issues in minutes.
When DevOps Guru for RDS detects a performance bottleneck or operational issue, it displays its findings in the DevOps Guru Console and sends notifications via AWS services, such as Amazon EventBridge and Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS). This enables the developers to automatically manage and take real-time action on performance and operational issues before they become customer-impacting outages.
Amazon DevOps Guru for RDS is designed to help you quickly understand the cause of a performance or operational problem without searching through hundreds of database metrics. With intelligent recommendations and remediation steps, developers and DevOps engineers can resolve issues in minutes without enlisting help from database experts.
