Reduce EC2 downtime and save money with automation
While cloud vendors offer SLAs and a variety of cloud management tools, the average customer with only three AWS instances still experiences application downtime at least once a month. Why? Many common system impairments and software issues are not covered by cloud vendor service level guarantees or addressed by cloud management tools. This is where AppKeeper’s AWS EC2 application monitoring can help.
SIOS AppKeeper is a SaaS solution that automates recovery from service impairments. It is an essential element to ensuring the availability of your cloud applications. Use it alone or to add automated recovery capabilities to an application performance monitoring (APM) tool.

Monitor Applications. Respond. Restart.
APM tools identify issues but often overwhelm IT with hard-to-manage alert storms. Worse, they do nothing to address the issues they identify. IT or third-party expertise is still needed to bring applications back online.
SIOS AppKeeper independently monitors and directly responds to failures within the AWS EC2 environment. AppKeeper addresses 85% of application service failures. Reduce the need for expensive outsourced monitoring or distractions for your IT team with automated recovery.
Instant Application Availability in AWS EC2
Get up and running quickly – there is nothing to install. You just sign up online and authenticate your AWS account. SIOS AppKeeper connects to your AWS account to identify your EC2 instances. Simply select which EC2 instances and services you want to protect and choose any of the following options:
- Monitor and Alert
- Restart Services
- Reboot Instances
- Reboot Instances only if a restart of Services fails (Default)
AppKeeper can be configured to detect and automatically apply these settings to new instances.
