PERF 7. How do you monitor your storage solution to ensure it is performing as expected?
System performance can degrade over time, or for periods of time, due to internal or external factors. Monitoring the performance of systems allows you to identify this degradation and remediate the internal or external factors.
Best practices:
 Amazon CloudWatch monitoring Use CloudWatch to monitor storage systems.
 Third party monitoring Use third party tools to monitor storage systems.
 Periodic review Periodically review your monitoring dashboards.
 Alarm-based review Plan for your monitoring systems to automatically alert you if metrics are out of safe bounds.
 Trigger-based actions Plan for alarms to cause automated actions to remediate or escalate issues.
