AWS cloud monitoring

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cloud computing platform provided by Amazon that offers technology services to businesses, including computing power, storage, and databases. With AWS, businesses don't need to buy, own, or maintain physical data centers and servers, and AWS's pay-as-you-go approach has allowed businesses to avoid the high costs related to IT infrastructure.

However, applications and databases hosted on AWS generate large volumes of data in the form of AWS cloud logs and events. To optimize performance, resource utilization, and threat mitigation, you need to monitor these logs and events constantly using an efficient AWS cloud monitoring tool. One of the best AWS cloud monitoring best practices is equipping yourself with a powerful AWS cloud monitoring solution that can deal with the terabytes of event log data.
