Get started with AWS Incident Detection and Response

You can select specific workloads for monitoring and critical incident management using AWS Incident Detection and Response. A workload is a collection of resources and code that work together to deliver a business value. A workload might be all the resources and code that make up your banking payment portal or a customer relationship management (CRM) system. You can host a workload in a single AWS account or multiple AWS accounts.

For example, you might have a monolithic application hosted in a single account (for example, Employee Performance App in Fig.1). Or, you might have an application (for example, Storefront Webapp in Fig. 1) broken into microservices that stretch across different accounts. A workload might share resources, such as a database, with other applications or workloads as shown in Fig. 1.
