CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."

SolarWinds Observability - Better Monitoring, Faster Resolution
Reviewed on Jul 22, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to bring together telemetry from different parts of a complex environment into a single view, making it easier to detect issues early, troubleshoot faster, and improve operational reliability. This aligns closely with CBA's broader observability strategy of standardisation, improved data quality, and faster insight into system health.
What do you dislike about the product?
My main concern is that the volume of telemetry and alerting can become overwhelming without strong standards and governance. The platform is most effective when data is consistently instrumented and managed across teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SolarWinds Observability helps solve the challenge of monitoring complex applications and infrastructure by providing centralised visibility into system health, performance, and operational telemetry. For CBA, this supports faster incident detection and resolution, improved service reliability, more consistent observability practices, and reduced operational complexity through standardised monitoring and insights
