Overview

CloudTrail keeps a record of API calls in an AWS account. These include any calls made to services whether through the management console or otherwise. Records are logs that include details about who, when, where, and how the request is made. The how could be the management console, SDK, or any other ways AWS users can interact with cloud services. These are updated around 15 minutes after requests are made.

CloudTrail Insights

This optional feature can be used to monitor for unusual activity like spikes in the provisioning of resources.
