Why monitor?

Slide 1 / 5

Monitoring means collecting data about your resources to understand how they're performing β€” and to act before users notice problems.

Good monitoring answers: β€’ Is the application healthy right now? β€’ Is it getting slower or more expensive over time? β€’ Who changed what, and when? β€’ Are we following our own rules and the law?

AWS provides a service for each question.
