AWS users can now enhance their log management and analytics capabilities by utilizing the Elastic serverless forwarder, a Lambda application available in the AWS Serverless Application Repository (SAR). This tool enables the seamless ingestion of logs stored in Amazon S3 into the Elastic Stack, allowing for centralized analytics and eliminating the need for complex provisioning and installation processes. Elastic Observability offers a comprehensive view by unifying logs, metrics, and APM traces across AWS and on-premises environments, supporting various AWS services like Lambda, EC2, and S3. The integration facilitates cost-effective storage and retrieval of data, with automated data management and tiering through index lifecycle management and autoscaling. Additionally, Elastic Security delivers significant cost savings and improved threat detection by integrating SIEM and endpoint security, allowing organizations to handle large data volumes and enhance threat response. The setup process includes creating S3 buckets and SQS queues for event notifications, configuring the Elastic AWS integration via Kibana, and deploying the serverless forwarder Lambda function to ingest data into Elastic, ultimately providing a streamlined and efficient solution for monitoring and safeguarding hybrid cloud environments.
