Lab Overview

Enterprise audit and compliance on AWS requires centralized log collection and analysis. In this lab, you'll create a CloudTrail trail delivering logs to a secure S3 bucket, integrate CloudTrail with CloudWatch Logs for real-time monitoring, set up cross-region log aggregation for multi-region visibility, and build an audit dashboard with CloudWatch Logs Insights, metric filters, and alarms. These patterns are essential for the SAP-C02 exam's logging, monitoring, and security domains.
