Outstanding book on leveraging AWS Cloudwatch to monitor AWS Services
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2021Easy to understand book for the novice but covers in depth concepts for the advanced user. takes one through the basics of monitoring in AWS for example; how to create alerts and dashboards in Cloudwatch. Then in the second section it goes into depth on monitoring and alerting on popular AWS services using Cloudwatch. The last part of the book brings it all together in very well written 'Best Practices' section. Enjoyable tech book that reads very well. i know some tech books can drag on with regurgitating facts, but the Author does an excellent job of explaining key concepts then give amazing in depth examples to actually build and monitor the services. Highly recommend this book!
