AWS Systems Manager Incident Manager now identifies probable root causes of incidents

The article discusses a new feature in AWS Systems Manager Incident Manager that identifies probable root causes of incidents. When an alarm or event triggers an incident, Incident Manager now identifies recent AWS CloudFormation and AWS CodeDeploy deployments that included the affected resource and likely caused the incident.

Specifically, the article covers:

• The new feature provides incident responders with critical information to investigate likely root causes, such as a CloudFormation stack update that reduced memory allocated to a Lambda function, causing invocation errors.
• This feature is available to Incident Manager customers at no additional cost.
• It provides links to the product page, documentation, pricing information, and available regions for Incident Manager.
• The conclusion is that this feature can accelerate root cause diagnosis and reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) for incidents.
