📖 AWS re:Invent 2025 - From Metrics to Management: Practical Observability on EKS (DEV202)

In this video, Dale Orders and Emil Lubikowski present practical observability on EKS using AWS managed services. They explain observability as a continuous cycle of detecting, investigating, remediating, and assessing application health through four signals: metrics, traces, logs, and profiles. The session demonstrates how Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus and Amazon Managed Grafana work together to monitor containerized workloads, using OpenTelemetry collectors to aggregate data. Best practices include using PrivateLink, IAM for security, adjusting scrape intervals, and creating dashboards that tell clear stories. A live demo shows configuring scrapers, setting retention periods, establishing IAM roles, and building visualizations in Grafana to achieve SLO and SLA compliance targets.

Welcome to our session called From Metrics to Management: Practical Observability on EKS. My name is Dale Orders, and I'm here with Emil Lubikowski, who will be joining me in presenting this session today. We have an agenda for today's session that you can see on the screen. We're going to start by introducing ourselves, then discuss what observability is with a brief introduction to the concept. We'll then explore how we can make our applications observable and delve into two AWS services: Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus and Amazon Managed Grafana. We'll conclude our presentation with a short demo.

My name is Dale Orders, and I'm a software engineer at Five9. I'm joined by Emil Lubikowski, who is an AWS DevOps engineer. We're both community builders, and we're very excited to be here today with you to discuss observability.

We're going to first define exactly what we mean when we talk about observability. Observability is about extracting actionable insights—insights that you can generate to assess and improve the performance, health, and behavior of your application. That's a really important point: we want to
