About Amazon CloudWatch
Amazon CloudWatch is a vulnerability management software designed to help DevOps engineers, IT managers, and site reliability engineers (SREs) observe and manage AWS resources. Administrators can gain insights into operational data to visualize logs and utilize machine learning algorithms to detect anomalous behavior across environments.
The platform enables managers to troubleshoot issues and respond to system-wide performance changes on a unified interface. Amazon CloudWatch allows teams to automate relevant actions based on pre-set alarms and reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR). Supervisors can also manage resource utilization and perform historical analysis to optimize costs.
Amazon CloudWatch lets stakeholders visualize data across compute utilization and diagnostic information including network data, memory, container restart failures, and disks. Operators can also utilize the CloudWatch Container Insights module to monitor containerized applications on a centralized dashboard.

Overall, it’s a powerful monitoring and observability tool. Once you understand how to use it, CloudWatch offers incredible value in managing and optimizing application performance. It’s become essential in my workflow for tracking logs and metrics.
Pros
I really appreciated how seamlessly CloudWatch integrated with other AWS services. The real-time monitoring, customizable dashboards, and detailed logs made it much easier to detect issues early and keep track of system health.
Cons
The pricing model can be a bit confusing at first, especially with custom metrics. It’s also not the most intuitive interface for beginners — a bit of a learning curve if you’re new to AWS monitoring tools.
