👁️Activity

Learn how to explore optimization and availability operations.

Sedai continuously analyzes seasonality trends, performance, and usage data to generate optimal configurations and remediations.

The optimization and availability management features must be set to Datapilot or Autopilot for the activity screens to populate.

If a resource starts to deviate from its usual state, Sedai's prediction engine generates a remediation to intervene and avoid downtime.

Remediations must pass a series of safety checks that validate Sedai's confidence and ability to safely execute in production.

Completed remediations are assessed to ensure changes achieved their intended effect, and fed into the system's ML feedback loop. This informs its decision model to continually learn and intelligently adapt to production behavior in real-time.

Sedai intelligently identifies and proactively addresses potential threats to availability. The Activity pages in the platform serve as the hub for identifying potential availability issues for your cloud resources. Sedai provides insights and resolutions needed to maintain consistent performance despite seasonality or changes in traffic patterns; Sedai analyzes activity to determine availability or optimization actions that can be taken to ensure optimal resource reliability and performance.

Tasks

The Tasks page provides a consolidated view of all resources that require your attention. Tasks are categorized as High, Medium, or Low to help prioritize your review.

A task is generated for one of the following reasons:

  • Availability issue detected, but Sedai does not have permission to act. If availability management is set to Data-pilot, Sedai will alert you when it identifies an issue.

  • Availability issue detected, but Sedai needs your help.

  • Negative release score

Select a task to view details and optionally execute Sedai's recommended action (when applicable).

Enable Autopitot for optimization and availability management to allow Sedai to automatically execute actions on your behalf. Go to Feature Settings to learn more.

Timeline

The Timeline page provides a chronological record (beginning with the most recent) of all Sedai activity related to your cloud resources. You can track the status and progression of these actions, as well as review proposed actions for resources that are not set to autonomous or require additional review. Click on an activity card to view details and other activities related to the resource.

Each activity card has a status to indicate its current state:

  • Proposed: Recommendations that require review, either because the resource is not set to autonomous or has conditions that require additional review before Sedai acts autonomously. You can choose to ignore or submit proposed actions.

  • Executing: Actions currently in progress, where Sedai is actively adjusting resource configurations or mitigating potential availability issues

  • Successful: Actions successfully executed by Sedai to optimize resource configurations or prevent availability problems

  • Unsafe to Act: Resources that did not pass initial safety checks when initiating autonomous action

  • Failed: Actions that passed safety checks but were aborted because of a failure to complete a step such as acquiring a lock or creating a ticket

  • User Rejected: Recommendations a user has previously dropped

  • Paused: If an action was started when a user globally paused operations

  • Expired: Recommendations for which the relevant time window to act has passed

Optionally filter the Timeline by status, activity type (Optimization or Availability), Action, or Metric. You can also filter by resource type, account, or group.

Operations in Progress

Actions are automatically executed for resources set to autonomous. You can view operations in progress from the Activity -> Timeline page.

Pausing Actions

Pausing actions stops all actions at their current step and prevents new actions from initiating. Actions can be resumed or discarded after being paused.

Pausing actions will stop all actions at their current step, which may cause instability. Be sure to carefully review actions currently underway before pausing.

Disabling Actions

If actions are globally disabled, all those currently in progress will be completed, but no new ones will begin. Resources enabled for monitoring will continue to receive recommendations, which can be viewed from the Timeline page.

How to trigger actions

Trigger actions for a specific resource from a resource page. To access a resource page, click on a resource name or find one via global search. Next, under the Activity & Metrics tab, click Actions to view and execute possible actions.

Supported actions vary based on resource type and available data. The following actions are supported for each respective resource type, assuming enough data is present:

  • Increase/decrease provisioned concurrency

  • Increase/decrease timeout

  • Scale up/down memory

  • Update alias

  • Rollback to previous configuration
