Management and Governance

AWS Management and Governance services help you monitor, control, and optimize your AWS resources and applications. These tools enable efficient cloud operations and ensure compliance with organizational policies. AWS CloudWatch is a monitoring service that provides data and insights for your AWS resources. It collects metrics, logs, and events to give you visibility into application performance and health. You can set alarms based on thresholds to automatically respond to changing resource conditions. AWS CloudTrail tracks user activity and API usage across your AWS infrastructure. It records all actions taken in your AWS account, helping with security analysis, resource change tracking, and compliance auditing. AWS Config continuously monitors and records your AWS resource configurations. It evaluates these configurations against desired settings, helping you assess compliance and identify potential security vulnerabilities. AWS Organizations helps you centrally manage and govern multiple AWS accounts. You can group accounts, apply policies across accounts, and simplify billing.

AWS Systems Manager provides visibility and control over your AWS resources. It helps automate operational tasks, manage configurations, and maintain security compliance.
