Summary
We have now come to the end of this chapter. We started off the journey by understanding how to keep an eye on our services using Amazon CloudWatch and CloudTrail. We have learned how they can help us check the performance and security of our usage. We also discussed the practical ways to maintain our services through regular patches, tuning, and making sure we have the right amount of resources to efficiently operate our workloads. Lastly, we looked at various ways to keep our data safe through backups and recovery plans to reinstate workloads after unexpected issues.
In the next chapter, we will learn about relying on automation to manage your resources more efficiently and easily.
