EC2 Cloudwatch alerting that fits *your* workflow
Every biz/organization/individual/start-up that is using EC2 has their own different operations workflow that they use. Ylastic alerting is built to fit right into that workflow, by letting you pick the delivery channel that fits your needs best. You use email exclusively, you can get alerts through email. If you are more into IM/chat, get alerted via Jabber/Google Talk. Your ops guys/devs hang out on twitter all the time? We got you covered with alerts as tweets. If you prefer the old-fashioned way, we can even alert you by calling your phone with a voice alert! *You* are in control - pick the delivery channel that you want. Here are some nifty things our users are doing:
- Use it as a rolling weekly ops pager by turning on the phone alert for the current person and turning them off for the other users.
- Want alerting via SMS to your phone? Set up your twitter account with a phone number, get your alerts as tweets, and have Twitter send them to you as SMS messages! (works in the US, Canada and India)
