Chapter 14: CloudWatch and X-Ray's Role in DevOps
Once you have your application running in the cloud, you need a way to keep an eye on it to make sure that it stays healthy and is performing effectively. CloudWatch can aggregate the logs of your services and applications, but combining this with X-Ray allows you to trace the performance of your application to see where you can enhance performance even further.
In this chapter, we're going to cover the following main topics:
- CloudWatch overview
- Using CloudWatch to aggregate your logs
- CloudWatch alarms
- Adding X-Ray for application tracing
