Introduction

In this workshop you will learn how to use Elastic in your AWS environment. We will create the full environment for you including an example application. Your task will be to identify issues within this application by using Elastic, to solve these issues, and finally to get an idea about usage.

Workshop Agenda

  • Deploy the Elastic environment from AWS Marketplace
  • Familiarize yourself with the environment in AWS and in Elastic
  • Identify root causes for application-specific issues within the application
  • Apply Machine Learning to the data in order to identify hidden patterns

Learning Objectives

  • Learn how to start quickly and easily with the Elastic Stack in AWS
  • Learn how to solve challenging issues within applications running on AWS
  • Learn how to incorporate Machine Learning capabilities for your analysis (AIOps)

Who should attend

This workshop is targeted towards roles in the following areas:

Application Development: Develop software, apps and services, and are responsible for creating observable code, and helping debug and fix code-level issues in dev & prod.

DevOps / SRE / Operations / Application Support: Responsible for maintaining service availability, performance, and reliability SLAs, and resolving issues when they occur.

Background knowledge for the Workshop

We start from scratch, so no prior knowledge is needed to complete the workshop. However, having some fundamental Elastic knowledge can help to finish it more efficiently while learning some tips and tricks at the same time.

Expected time

We’ve planned this workshop to be finished within 1-2 hours. You can pause at any time and continue working. However, the trial period for your Elastic Cluster within the AWS Marketplace is 7 days. After that period, your trial will automatically transform into a paid subscription if you do not delete the environment.
