DRHCOPS05-BP01 Understand monitoring requirements in your Local Zones

Focus on similar observability and alerting as in an Availability Zone.

Desired outcome: Establish monitoring capabilities that align with the architecture and deployment model of workloads within an Availability Zone, ensuring comprehensive visibility and observability across the entire stack.

Benefits of establishing this best practice: Implementing monitoring solutions enables granular monitoring, accurate detection of issues, and targeted troubleshooting, ultimately improving operational efficiency.

Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: High

Implementation guidance

Use the same mechanism for your workloads as you do in Availability Zones by implementing monitoring and alerting at infrastructure and application layer through CloudWatch or third-party tools.
