CloudWatch is an AWS service used to monitor resources and applications on the cloud. It collects and tracks metrics, logs, and events in real time, providing a unified view of the cloud resources. CloudWatch can set alarms, create dashboards, troubleshoot issues, and take automated actions based on collected data. With CloudWatch, users can gain visibility into the health and performance of their AWS infrastructure and make informed decisions.
This Cloud Lab will teach you how to use Amazon CloudWatch to monitor your AWS resources and applications, focusing on Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). You’ll also learn how to create a CloudWatch dashboard, monitor Amazon S3 with CloudWatch metrics, create custom metrics, and set alarms.
By the end of this Cloud Lab, you will have practical experience in using CloudWatch to monitor your AWS resources, including S3. You can create a CloudWatch dashboard, monitor metrics, and set alarms. These skills are essential for anyone working with AWS infrastructure and applications and will help you ensure the health and performance of your AWS resources.
