AWS Support Services for Electric Kiwi

AWS Support Services for Electric Kiwi

The project provides a synopsis of the POC we did for the client for integrating AWS Support Services with Datadog’s CloudFormation template.

Implementation

About Client

Electric Kiwi is an autonomous online New Zealand electricity retailer. Established in 2014, Electric Kiwi uses cloud computing and intelligent meters to service customers nationwide in major urban areas. Its services depend on the presence of the smart meters in the customer’s home. For the client, we did the POC for integrating AWS Support Services with Datadog’s CloudFormation template.

Project Background

The case study of the project provides a synopsis of how we did the POC for the client for integrating AWS Support Services, an AWS account with Datadog employing Datadog’s CloudFormation template. Creating an IAM role and associated policy enables Datadog’s AWS account to make API calls for collecting or pushing data into your AWS account. Using the CloudFormation template supplies all the tools required to send this data to your Datadog account, and Datadog helps the CloudFormation template to provide the latest functionality. The template even deploys the Datadog Forwarder Lambda operation for sending logs to Datadog.

After setting the initial connection, enable the individual AWS service integrations appropriate to your AWS domain. With a single click, Datadog provisions the required resources in your AWS account and starts analyzing the metrics and events for the services you use. For general AWS services you are using, Datadog needs out-of-the-box dashboards providing prompt and customizable visibility. The project background demonstrates setting up the integration and establishing the Datadog Agent on an Amazon Linux EC2 instance and feeds a broad outline of the integration’s capabilities. Visit the Enable integrations for individual AWS service factions for a list of the general sub-integrations.

This procedure can be repeated for multiple AWS accounts as required, or you can also use the API, AWS CLI, or Terraform to set up various accounts simultaneously. For more details, read the Datadog-Amazon CloudFormation guide.

We sought the services of Peritos Solutions to help with our Observability objectives. Peritos took the team through a phased process of uncovering exactly what we needed from observability. Through this discovery, we can understand that the solution that we thought we should be implementing didn’t fully match our requirements. Without the work from Peritos we would have implemented something not fit for purpose and we are now in a great place to re-evaluate our objectives and requirements and make a more informed decision. The work Peritos performed was top notch and we look forward to more engagements with them.
