AWS: Monitoring, Logging, and Remediation

The dynamic nature of modern AWS workloads demands a proactive approach to management by sysadmins. Without a robust monitoring and remediation strategy, critical applications are vulnerable to performance issues, security threats, and costly downtime.

This course teaches you to master the key AWS services required to maintain a fault-tolerant and highly available ecosystem. Led by instructor Shyam Raj, you'll get hands-on with CloudWatch for monitoring performance metrics, CloudTrail for logging API activity, and AWS Config for tracking resource changes and enforcing compliance. Learn to combine these services to create comprehensive alerts, automate fixes for common issues, and implement proactive security measures.

This curriculum provides the essential, real-world skills needed to improve security, optimize costs, and maintain compliance. By the end, you should be better prepared for the Monitoring, Logging, and Remediation domain of the AWS Certified SysOps Administrator exam.
