Take a tour of the CloudWatch console

Your team at NovaTech has just migrated several workloads to AWS, and your manager wants a quick orientation on the monitoring tools available. Before configuring any alarms or dashboards, you need to explore what CloudWatch offers and understand the metrics already being collected by your running services.

In this exercise you will navigate the CloudWatch console, identify its core sections, explore the available metric namespaces, and drill into the Usage namespace to examine how metrics are organized.
