With modern applications, it is possible to real-time manage the AWS cloud. AWS cloud engineers can use Amazon CloudWatch, a dashboard that displays real-time activities. It stores computer data for a reasonable period. Real-time monitoring and management can help to instantly identify activities that threaten the security of your cloud system.
What AWS Apps Help in Real-Time Management?
Real-time management apps range from CloudTrail, CloudFront, CloudWatch, Kinesis, and much more.
| Service | Function |
| Amazon CloudTrail | For real-time monitoring, you must log almost all account activities. You must log all processes in the console, including all commands and AWS services. CloudTrail is a service that logs activity continuously. |
| Amazon CloudWatch | CloudWatch lets you manage metrics in real time by setting trigger alarms. This service tracks AWS resources and applications. Once you have logged events, CloudWatch can execute a trigger to feed AWS Kinesis Data Firehose with information. This service tracks AWS resources and applications. By automatically reacting to real-time events, CloudWatch makes it possible to manage the AWS cloud in real time. |
| Amazon Kinesis | You can gain real-time visibility of your account in Kinesis. While Kinesis Data Analytics processes data, Kinesis Data streams receive processed data. |
| Amazon S3 Bucket | This application archives events from CloudWatch. |
| Amazon Kinesis Video Streams | AWS users can stream insights from their accounts via video using Kinesis video streams. It encrypts captured videos and has a playback feature. Users can add tools and APIs to process video for machine learning or decision-making purposes. |
| AWS Lambda | Lambda receives the processed data and reads it. From here, data goes to Amazon DynamoDB for table visualization. |
| Amazon CloudFront | Content has to reach users via a content delivery network. That is CloudFront. Its lightning speed ensures content reaches users in real time. |
There are several ways to real-time manage the AWS cloud. When it comes to real-time management, your goal determines the application you choose. Some of the goals include:
Regardless of your goal, AWS has an overwhelming number of tools to help you complete almost every task. nOps, a premium AWS Partner, has a tool to help in real-time monitoring of the five main security pillars, also known as the Well-Architected Framework. Glancing at the dashboard, you can assess whether you’re compliant.
