In this chapter, I will cover two central concepts for DevOps and SRE engineers: monitoring and observability. What does each mean? I’ll explain the terms and components for each concept and why they’re essential for DevOps/SRE engineers.

Moreover, this chapter will cover Amazon AWS services concerning monitoring and how to use them, such as the resource dashboard, CloudTrail, CloudWatch, X-Ray, and more.

We will dive deep into these services and show you the configuration for each one of them.
