DDI Central seamlessly integrates with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to provide deep visibility and centralized oversight of key cloud infrastructure components— EC2 instances, ECS services, RDS databases, VPCs, and their subnets—through its Cloud Observability capabilities.
Rather than managing these assets in isolation, DDI Central acts as an intelligent overlay, discovering and mapping AWS resources into an intuitive, unified view. This enables network administrators to monitor, visualize, and contextualize their AWS environments alongside on-premises infrastructure, making hybrid network management more effective and informed.
Under Cloud Observability, DDI Central currently supports discovery and monitoring of the following AWS resources:
AWS Service | Resource Type | Key Benefits in DDI Central |
---|---|---|
EC2 | EC2 Instances | Visualize by region/AZ, get public/private IPs, tags, platform, state, and DNS mapping |
Elastic IPs | See allocated IPs, association with ENIs/instances, NAT tracking | |
Load Balancers | Identify LBs and their linked resources; see distribution across regions | |
Network Interfaces (ENI) | Discover interfaces, attached subnets/VPCs, security groups, DNS names | |
ECS | Clusters | View ECS cluster count and location by region |
Task Definitions | Visibility into defined workloads and services mapped to clusters | |
Running Tasks | Count only (aggregated), used for density analytics | |
Services | Appears via tags or ENIs; not directly listed | |
RDS | DB Instances | Get instance state, engine, IPs, AZ, tags, and DNS info |
DB Clusters | See regional spread and resource grouping | |
VPC | VPCs | Display CIDR ranges, state, default status, correlation with other services |
Subnets | Map CIDR, usage %, AZ, fragmentation, IP availability, and VPC linkage | |
Route 53 | Hosted Zones | List zones, TTLs, NS records, and health checks |
DNS Records (A, CNAME, etc.) | Create, modify, delete records; supports bidirectional sync | |
New Domain Creation | Add root domains and subdomains | |
Audit Trail of DNS Changes | Track all record-level changes performed within DDI Central |
For administrators juggling complex on-prem and cloud-native environments, this integration brings critical value:
With DDI Central’s AWS integration, network administrators gain complete situational awareness across cloud and on-prem networks—
unlocking a scalable, secure, and future-ready operational model for managing modern distributed infrastructures.
