CloudTrail: Governance and Compliance

AWS Cloud Practitioner to Architect: 0 to Hero

AWS CloudTrail

CloudTrail records AWS API calls for your account and delivers log files to you.

Why use CloudTrail?

  • Auditing: See who did what, when, and from where.
  • Security Analysis: Identify unauthorized access attempts.
  • Troubleshooting: Track operational changes.

Note: CloudWatch is for performance monitoring; CloudTrail is for API auditing.
