Amazon VPC Lattice Monitoring
Amazon VPC Lattice - Overview
Amazon VPC Lattice is a fully managed, scalable application networking service designed to simplify how you connect, secure, and monitor your services and resources across one or more Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and AWS accounts. With VPC Lattice, you gain centralized observability into service status, traffic patterns, and performance metrics while enforcing authentication and authorization policies for secure communication. Applications Manager’s VPC Lattice monitoring tool helps you track key metrics—such as request latency, error rates, and availability—visualize trends, and ensure your services remain healthy, resilient, and compliant.
