Course description

AWS provides many services that help IT administrators and developers easily manage and monitor their AWS resources. These fully-managed services, can automatically be provisioned, configured, and manage your AWS resources or even your on-premises resources. You can also monitor your infrastructure logs and metrics using real-time dashboards and alarms. These tools can also help you monitor, track, and enforce compliance and security. So In this course we will take a look at all of this as we will look at 3 of the most important management tools - CLoudtrail, cloudwatch and cloudformation.
