Just a place to put
some notes on the “AWS Certified Solutions Architect -
Associate (New!)” course from https://linuxacademy.com
CloudWatch
- Used to monitor AWS services
such as EC2
- It provides centralized
logging and performance metrics for AWS resources (e.g. ‘CPU Utilization’ of an EC2 instance, or network usage)
- CloudWatch Alarms can be used as triggers (i.e. to trigger an auto-scaling event)
CloudTrail
- Is an API logging service that logs all API calls made to AWS
- It does not matter if
the API calls originate from the CLI, SDK, or console
- Logs can help address
security concerns
- You can log and view
each action performed by a user on your AWS account
Simple Notification Services (SNS)
- SNS is an AWS service
that allows you to automate the sending of notifications (e.g. email and text messages) based on events that occur
in your AWS account
- SNS coordinates and
manages the delivery of messages to specific end points
- SNS is integrated into
many AWS services, so easy to setup and use
- With CloudWatch and SNS, a full environment
monitoring solution could be created that will notify administrators with
alerts like: capacity issues, downtime,
changes in the environment...
