CloudWatch Logs and Log Groups

Imagine trying to fix a problem in your application without knowing what happened! That's where logs come in.

CloudWatch Logs is an AWS service that helps you collect, monitor, and store logs from your applications and various AWS services.

It's crucial for troubleshooting, auditing, and understanding how your systems are performing.

At the core of CloudWatch Logs is the concept of a Log Group.

Think of a Log Group as a dedicated folder or container for logs that share the same characteristics, like logs from a specific application or service.

For example, all logs from your 'WebApp-Production' service might go into one Log Group.
