Chapter 1: CloudWatch foundations

Monitoring vs observability
Collected metrics with CloudWatch
Built CloudWatch dashboards

A CloudWatch-style dashboard with gauges, line and bar charts, and a magnifying glass focused on a 'monitoring' panel beside an observability thought bubble

Chapter 2: logs, alarms, and notifications

Captured and queried logs with Logs Insights
Set up alarms to detect problems
Routed notifications through SNS and SQS

Chapter 3: distributed tracing with X-Ray

Traced distributed apps with X-Ray
Read service maps for bottlenecks
Built application health dashboards
