Summary

Ylastic has announced that it now provides voice alerts from the cloud in addition to existing email, Twitter, and Jabber notifications. The company uses Twilio to initiate phone calls to customers when their virtual server triggers a notification, such as a load spike or an Amazon CloudWatch monitoring threshold being triggered. Voice notifications can be generated for various events, including Amazon AutoScaling actions and health status changes for AWS services like EC2 and S3. Ylastic provides voice alerts for parameters such as CPU utilization, disk usage, and latency, allowing customers to receive timely notifications about their cloud infrastructure performance. The company offers additional resources, including documentation, e-books, industry reports, webinars, best practices, code samples, and inspiration on its developer community hub Ahoy.
