Add Monitoring and Logging Capabilities
One of the main benefits of implementing App Mesh is the ability to have visibility around your microservices and it’s communications.
AWS App Mesh allows you to integrate the logs generated by the Envoy proxies running in your infrastructure with Amazon CloudWatch.
In this chapter, let’s change the infrastructure so we can:
- Use CloudWatch Container Insights to get more information about your deployments in ECS.
- Ship logs from the Envoy proxies running in the ECS backend service to CloudWatch Logs.
