Application map is now generally available for Amazon CloudWatch

Amazon CloudWatch Application Map

Amazon CloudWatch now helps you monitor large-scale distributed applications by automatically discovering and organizing services into groups based on configurations and their relationships. This feature allows SREs and DevOps teams to identify critical dependencies and blast radius impacts to remediate issues faster.

You get an always-on, out-of-the-box catalog and map that visualizes services and dependencies across AWS accounts and regions, organizing them into logical groups that align with how customers think about their systems—without manual configurations.

New Features

• Automatically discover and organize services into groups based on configurations and relationships.
• Always-on, out-of-the-box catalog and map that visualizes services and dependencies.
• Dynamic grouping based on how you organize applications—by teams, business units, criticality tiers, or other attributes.
• Accelerate root cause analysis and reduce mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) through high-level operational signals.
• Contextual troubleshooting drawer that surfaces relevant metrics and actionable insights.
• Application-specific dashboard tailored for troubleshooting.
