Enterprise-Level Services
The Health Dashboard is quite useful as it is, specially for those using AWS Organizations. However, if you also subscribe to a Business or Enterprise level support plan, AWS takes it up a notch by providing access to the Heath API.
This enables you to perform lots of additional health-related tasks such as integration with 3rd-party applications, such as: Creating JIRA Tickets, sending notifications to Slack or MS Teams and more.
One feature that I find quite interesting is to be able to use the Open-Source tool called AHA – AWS Health Aware. This tool, created by AWS, depends on the Health API.
This tool will perform the monitoring for you and provide you with integrations and notifications of Events that are relevant to your accounts and overall AWS footprint.
This section provides detail on the AWS management services relevant to the Solution Architect Associate exam. These services are used to help you audit, monitor and evaluate your AWS infrastructure and resources. These management services form a core component of running resilient and performant architectures.
