Getting Started with Amazon CloudWatch for Beginners

As a beginner in cloud computing, I started learning Amazon CloudWatch to monitor AWS resources and ensure reliability. CloudWatch tracks metrics (like EC2 CPU usage) and logs (application events), helping detect issues early.

For example, I set up a CPU alert for an EC2 instance that notifies me when usage exceeds 70%. This simple setup boosted my confidence in managing cloud resources.

Learning CloudWatch taught me the importance of monitoring and observability for reliable cloud operations.
