In this lab, you will design and implement an advanced monitoring and logging solution using AWS CloudWatch, X-Ray, and Athena. You will collect logs and metrics from various AWS services such as EC2, RDS, and ELB, and automate the visualization of these metrics in CloudWatch dashboards. Additionally, you will integrate AWS X-Ray to trace requests across your infrastructure, configure metric streams to S3, and use Athena for in-depth log analysis. This lab will guide you through creating and managing a secure and scalable logging strategy, critical for maintaining high availability and performance in production environments.
Your company, TechCorp, is expanding rapidly and requires a robust system to monitor and analyze its application performance in real-time. The CTO mandates a centralized logging and monitoring solution to improve system transparency and operational efficiency. You must deploy a solution that collects and analyzes data from multiple AWS services, provides a comprehensive view of application health, and allows for proactive incident management.
