What is Amazon DevOps Guru?
Amazon DevOps Guru is a fully managed ML service that continuously analyzes the operational behavior of AWS applications. The service detects anomalous patterns in metrics, logs, and events, and correlates them to identify the root cause of operational issues before they lead to outages.
DevOps Guru uses the same ML technology that Amazon employs internally to operate its own services. The service learns the normal behavior of each monitored resource and detects deviations automatically. Instead of monitoring hundreds of dashboards, operations teams receive prioritized insights with concrete remediation recommendations.
Core Features
- Anomaly Detection: ML-based detection of unusual patterns in CloudWatch metrics and CloudTrail events
- Correlation Analysis: Links anomalies across multiple resources to identify the root cause
- Proactive Insights: Warns of potential issues before they lead to outages
- Remediation Recommendations: Concrete actions to resolve identified issues
- SNS Integration: Automatic notification via email, Slack, or PagerDuty
Typical Use Cases
Proactive Issue Detection: DevOps Guru detects unusual latency spikes, error rates, or resource consumption before end users are affected. Operations teams can respond before an outage occurs.
Accelerated Root Cause Analysis: During an incident, DevOps Guru automatically correlates all relevant anomalies and shows the probable root cause. Instead of hours of manual analysis, the service delivers a diagnosis in minutes.
Capacity Planning: The service detects trends in resource consumption and warns when capacity limits are approaching, such as DynamoDB throttling or Lambda concurrency limits.
Benefits
- No manual alarm threshold configuration required
- ML models continuously learn from operational behavior
- Can significantly reduce mean time to recovery (MTTR)
- Simple activation per account or CloudFormation stack
- Free tier allowance for new customers

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Amazon DevOps Guru?
Amazon DevOps Guru is an ML-powered service that analyzes the operational behavior of AWS applications. The service detects anomalies in metrics, logs, and events, identifies the root cause of issues, and recommends specific remediation actions.
How does DevOps Guru detect anomalies?
DevOps Guru learns the normal operational behavior of your applications and creates dynamic baselines. Deviations from these baselines are detected as anomalies. The service correlates anomalies across multiple resources to identify the actual root cause.
Which AWS resources does DevOps Guru monitor?
DevOps Guru analyzes metrics from CloudWatch, logs from CloudTrail, and events from AWS services like Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS, ECS, API Gateway, and more. Activation is done per AWS account or CloudFormation stack.
What does Amazon DevOps Guru cost?
Billing is based on analyzed AWS resource hours, tiered by resource group, plus a per-API-call charge for DevOps Guru operations. New customers get a limited monthly allowance of resource hours and API calls for free through the AWS Free Tier.
