The new Dynatrace CloudFormation templates facilitate the automation of validating AWS Well-Architected workflows, marking Dynatrace as the first global tech partner to offer such templates. Available in the AWS CloudFormation Public Extensions Registry, these templates offer AWS users an accessible means to integrate Dynatrace’s observability and validation capabilities into their cloud infrastructure, enhancing alignment with AWS’s Well-Architected Framework pillars such as security, reliability, and cost optimization. This solution streamlines the software development lifecycle (SDLC) by automating the validation and optimization processes, reducing manual intervention, and ensuring faster deployments. The templates are designed to be easily deployable and customizable, enabling organizations to extend workflows to meet specific business needs while maintaining continuous monitoring and validation of essential application metrics. By automating these previously manual processes, AWS users can efficiently vet their applications for best practices before production deployment, thus minimizing risks and accelerating the adoption of cloud-native practices.
