The CloudWatch Book

A book for practical use of CloudWatch. Learn how to work with CloudWatch Logs, Metrics, Alarms, Dashboards, and much more!

"The CloudWatch Book" is your all-in-one reference guide, project, and video course that makes understanding Amazon CloudWatch simple and accessible.

Anyone who has used at least one AWS service has encountered CloudWatch. We know that the experience is not always pleasant. That's why we created "The CloudWatch Book."

We have seen many companies turn to third-party monitoring tools simply because they didn't know how to properly use CloudWatch. But in fact, CloudWatch can be an excellent tool if you know how to work with it.

Our book will help you with that!

All CloudWatch Capabilities: We showcase not only Logs, Metrics, and Alarms, but also all other features.

Infographics and Cheat Sheets: Each section includes cheat sheets and infographics.

Real Examples: We created a real project to demonstrate how to use CloudWatch.

Video Course: An accompanying video course demonstrates code, working with the AWS Console, and everything you need to know.

But why should you use CloudWatch instead of third-party tools?

• AWS Internal Tool: CloudWatch is an AWS product and has native integrations with almost all services.
• Simple Procurement: You don't need to buy a new tool and go through the process of its implementation.
• Cost: Yes, CloudWatch can be expensive, but it doesn't have to be. Especially when compared to third-party tools.
