Prompt Detail:
Yes, you can use Cloud Custodian to fetch AWS and Azure VM performance data.
Cloud Custodian is an open-source, cloud-native, and policy-driven tool that helps automate and manage cloud resources. It can be used to create policies that define the desired state of resources in your cloud environment and automatically remediate any resources that are out of compliance with those policies.
To fetch performance data for AWS EC2 instances, Cloud Custodian provides an action called ec2-metrics
that can be used to retrieve performance metrics such as CPU utilization, memory usage, disk I/O, and network traffic. This action can be combined with filters to target specific instances based on tags, instance types, or other attributes.
Similarly, for Azure VMs, Cloud Custodian provides an action called azure-metrics
that can be used to retrieve performance metrics such as CPU usage, memory usage, disk I/O, and network traffic. This action can be combined with filters to target specific VMs based on tags, sizes, or other attributes.
Once you have retrieved the performance data using Cloud Custodian, you can use it to create reports or trigger alerts based on specific thresholds or patterns.
