Hello, and welcome to this course where I shall be taking a high-level look at Amazon CloudWatch and some of its features and components which enable you to monitor the health and performance of your environment to ensure it's operating within its expected thresholds.

Before we start I’d like to introduce myself, my name is Stuart Scott, and I am the AWS content and security lead here at Cloud Academy.  Feel free to connect with me to ask any questions using the details shown on the screen, alternatively you can always get in touch with us here at Cloud Academy by sending an e-mail to support@cloudacademy.com where one of our Cloud experts will reply to your question.

This course is ideally suited to those who are unfamiliar with Amazon CloudWatch and are looking to find out more about the service at an introductory level.  

The objective of this course is to introduce you to Amazon CloudWatch, explaining what the service is used for and some of the features that it provides.

As a prerequisite to this course, you should have a very basic understanding of AWS.  This is an introductory course and so it will cover the basics of Amazon CloudWatch
