Explain Use Cases for AWS CloudWatch.

Use Cases for AWS CloudWatch :
  1. Infrastructure Monitoring

    • Monitor EC2 instances, RDS databases, Lambda functions, S3 buckets, and other AWS resources for performance, health, and resource utilization.
  2. Application Performance Monitoring (APM)

    • Track the performance of your web applications, microservices, and APIs. Monitor response times, error rates, and throughput.
  3. Automated Remediation

    • Set alarms to automatically take corrective actions when a resource exceeds a threshold (e.g., scaling an EC2 instance when CPU usage is high).
  4. Cost Management

    • Monitor AWS service usage and set alarms to track cost-related metrics, ensuring that you stay within budget.
  5. Log Aggregation and Analysis

    • Collect logs from EC2 instances, Lambda functions, VPC flow logs, and other sources, and analyze them for operational insights or troubleshooting.
