Meet Amazon CloudWatch, the superhero of the AWS cloud! π¦ΈββοΈ It's like
your cloud's personal fitness trainer, always keeping an eye on your
applications, ensuring they perform at their best and helping your
resources stay in tip-top shape.
Picture CloudWatch as your cloud's detective, gathering data from
all your AWS buddies. It not only shows you how everything is
running but also lets you set alarms. Think of these alarms as your
own superhero signals - if something goes wrong, CloudWatch lets you
know right away.
But wait, there's more! CloudWatch doesn't just watch; it acts. It
can automatically respond to changes in your cloud environment,
ensuring everything stays as smooth as silk. And to make it even
cooler, CloudWatch creates a superhero-style dashboard, giving you a
colorful and clear view of how your cloud is doing.
In a nutshell, Amazon CloudWatch is like the superhero sidekick you
always wanted for your cloud adventures, ensuring everything is A-OK
and ready to take on any challenges that come your way! π
We are setting up a simple design to receive email notifications whenever the status of an EC2 instance changes.
EC2StateChange
in the Name text
box.
EmailsTopic
from the
Topic drop-down list.
π Now you will be able to receive an email once an EC2 instance's state changes. π
The quickest way to test is to simply launch an EC2 instance!
If you're unsure how to do that, check this quick and easy
AWS EC2 blog.
In this blog post, we delved into AWS CloudWatch, exploring its key features. π We successfully crafted our initial rule to trigger alarms for EC2 state changes and tested our design. π§ͺ Congratulations on reaching this milestone! π
