This service is essential for ensuring compliance, investigating security incidents, and maintaining a detailed record of who did what and when. We’ll guide you through setting up CloudTrail to log activity across your AWS accounts and regions, ensuring comprehensive coverage.

We’ll also cover best practices for using CloudTrail logs, including how to store, search, and analyze logs for security and operational insights. Additionally, we’ll discuss how CloudTrail integrates with other AWS services, like Amazon CloudWatch and AWS Lambda, to automate response actions based on specific activity patterns. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how to configure and use CloudTrail to maintain visibility into your AWS environment and ensure security and compliance.
