AWS EC2
Overview
Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) is a web service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that enables organizations to easily provision and manage virtual servers in the cloud. With EC2, developers and businesses can quickly scale compute resources based on demand and only pay for the capacity they use.
Prerequisites
You can check the list of prerequisites required for AWS EC2 here. These are the same for any other AWS service that you need to monitor using AIOps. Move to the section Adding AWS resources for Monitoring on the above link to view the prerequisites for AWS resource monitoring.
