Sleeker AWS Console

Amzaon from years has been the perfect usecase for iterative understanding of application usage patterns, addressing and improving the application exactly nailing the pain points derived from its analytics. If shopping cart on its website was an example to go by that has evolved over years, it has taken the same approach to understand the issues from how users are using its AWS management console and released its sleeker version.

The newer version of AWS console targets increased customization ability and information segregation and display, optimizing the performance of console from what was initially overloaded with growing number of services (21 in number). One can now rely on shortcuts to most used services with easy navigation.

Built in resource summaries, enhanced monitoring graphic view, filters for logical information display are few of the other enhancements that have made up this release.
