AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 322

Which AWS service makes it easier to monitor and troubleshoot application logs and cloud resources?

Answer options

• A. Amazon EC2
• B. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
• C. Amazon CloudWatch
• D. AWS CloudTrail

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Amazon CloudWatch is the primary monitoring and observability service in AWS, built to collect, monitor, and analyze application logs and resource metrics. Amazon EC2 is a virtual server hosting service, AWS IAM handles identity and access control, and AWS CloudTrail is used for auditing API activity rather than real-time performance and log monitoring.
