AWS Personal Health Dashboard
A personalized view of AWS service health that provides alerts and remediation guidance when AWS is experiencing events that may impact the performance of your AWS resources.
Description
The AWS Personal Health Dashboard is an essential tool for AWS users, offering a tailored view of the health of AWS services relevant to their specific accounts and resources. Unlike the general AWS Service Health Dashboard, which displays the status of all AWS services globally, the Personal Health Dashboard provides notifications and guidance based on the user's account activity. This means that when there are issues affecting services you are using—such as outages, degradation, or scheduled maintenance—you receive real-time alerts via the dashboard, email, or AWS CloudWatch Events. The dashboard helps users quickly understand the impact of these events on their applications and provides recommendations for mitigating any potential disruptions. This proactive approach enables businesses to maintain higher levels of operational excellence by ensuring they are informed of changes and can respond promptly to incidents impacting their services.
Examples
- A company using Amazon EC2 receives alerts about scheduled maintenance affecting their instances, allowing them to prepare accordingly.
- An e-commerce platform is notified of an AWS S3 outage that may impact their website's image hosting, enabling them to implement contingency plans.
Additional Information
- The dashboard integrates with AWS CloudTrail to provide a detailed history of events related to account health.
- Users can customize their notification preferences, ensuring they receive alerts via email or through the AWS Management Console.
