The Management Tools Services suite is where Solutions Architects and Cloud Administrators go to in order to design, administer, audit and control their cloud services. It hosts a selection of services that perform management functions.
See below the list of all the current Management & Governance services available.
Cloud Watch
- Amazon Cloudwatch is a monitoring service for AWS cloud resources and the applications you run on AWS. You can use Amazon CloudWatch to collect and track metrics, collect and monitor log files, set alarms, and automatically react to changes in your AWS resources. Amazon CloudWatch can monitor AWS resources such as Amazon EC2 instances, Amazon DynamoDB tables, and Amazon RDS DB instances, as well as custom metrics generated by your applications and services, and any log files your applications generate. You can use Amazon CloudWatch to gain system-wide visibility into resource utilization, application performance, and operational health. You can use these insights to react and keep your application running smoothly.
- Must be mastered for AWS Sys Ops Certification.
AWS Auto Scaling
- AWS Auto Scaling enables you to configure automatic scaling for the scalable AWS resources for your application in matter of minutes. It uses the Auto Scaling and Application Auto Scaling services to configure scaling policies for your scalable AWS resources.
- The list of scalable resources are:
Aurora DB clusters
Auto Scaling groups
DynamoDB global secondary indexes
DynamoDB tables
ECS services
Spot fleet requests
CloudFormation
- AWS CloudFormation allows you to quickly and easily deploy your infrastructure resources and applications on AWS. You can use one of the templates that are provided to get started quickly.
- Must be mastered for AWS Solutions Architect Certification.
CloudTrail
- With CloudTrail, you can view events for your AWS account. Create a trail to retain a record of these events. With a trail, you can also create event metrics, trigger alerts, and create event workflows.
- CloudTrail is enabled by default for your AWS account. You can use CloudTrail to view, search, download, archive, analyze, and respond to account activity across your AWS infrastructure. This includes activity made through the AWS Management Console, AWS Command line Interface, and AWS SDKs and APIs.
- Must be mastered for the Certified Security specialty and Solutions Architect Professional.
Config
- AWS Config provides an inventory of your AWS resources and a history of configuration changes to these resources. You can use AWS Config to define rules that evaluate these configurations for compliance.
- This audits the AWS environment and sends alerts to prevent disruption.
OpsWorks
- AWS OpsWorks is a configuration management service that helps you build and operate highly dynamic applications, and propagate changes instantly.
- This helps automate deployments
- This enables system administrators to configure and operate your web applications using Chef.
Service Catalog - AWS Service Catalog allows you to easily create groups of products, manage permissions and set constraints.
- This allows you to build out what is authorized and what is not.
Systems Manager
- AWS Systems Manager (formerly known as Amazon EC2 Systems Manager) is a unified interface that allows you to easily centralize data and automate tasks across your AWS resources. Systems Manager shortens the time to detect and resolve operational problems in your infrastructure. Systems Manager gives you a complete view of your infrastructure performance and configuration, simplifies resource and application management, and makes it easy to operate and manage your infrastructure at scale.
Trusted Advisor
- This automates system scanning and gives you tips to improve your AWS environment.
- It is a dashboard showing cost optimization, performance, security and fault tolerance.
Managed Services
- AWS Managed Services provides ongoing management of your AWS infrastructure so you can focus on your applications. By implementing best practices to maintain your infrastructure, AWS Managed Services helps to reduce your operational overhead and risk. AWS Managed Services automates common activities such as change requests, monitoring, patch management, security, and backup services, and provides full-lifecycle services to provision, run, and support your infrastructure. Our rigor and controls help to enforce your corporate and security infrastructure policies, and enable you to develop solutions and applications using your preferred development approach. AWS Managed Services improves agility, reduces cost, and unburdens you from infrastructure operations so you can direct resources toward differentiating your business.

With AWS Organizations, you can create member account and invite existing accounts to join your organization. You can organize those account into groups and attach policy-based controls.
AWS Control Tower
- AWS Control Tower automates the set-up of a baseline environment, or landing zone, that is a secure, well-architected multi-account AWS environment. The configuration of the landing zone is based on best practices that have been established by working with thousands of enterprise customers to create a secure environment that makes it easier to govern AWS workloads with rules for security, operations, and compliance.
AWS License Manager
- AWS License Manager streamlines the process of bringing software vendor licenses to the cloud. As you build out cloud infrastructure on AWS, you can save costs by using bring-your-own license (BYOL) opportunities, that is, by repurposing your existing license inventory for use with cloud services. License Manager reduces the risk of licensing overages and penalties with inventory tracking that is tied directly into AWS services.
AWS Well-Architected Tool
- Use the AWS Well-Architected Tool to review your workloads against current AWS architectural best practices. The AWS Well-Architected Tool measures the workload and provides recommendations on how to improve your architecture.
Personal Health Dashboard
- The Personal Health Dashboard organizes issues in three groups: Open issues, Scheduled changes, and Other notifications. It provides an ongoing visibility into the state of your AWS resources, services, and accounts. The service gives you awareness and remediation guidance for resource performance or availability issues that affect your applications running on AWS.
All customers can use the Personal Health Dashboard (PHD), powered by the AWS Health API. The dashboard requires no setup, and it's ready to use for authenticated AWS users.
