AWS CloudTrail

Server access logging is an add-on feature from S3 which logs all the access and requests which are made to the specific S3 bucket. When enabled, you would have to choose a destination S3 bucket where all the logs are going to be written into. CloudTrail is one of the important services for governance and monitoring your AWS resources. With CloudTrail we can keep a log of all the APIs which are getting involved and the meta data of the invocation such as which IAM user/role invoked, what was the IP address that invoked the API. These logs from both Server access logging and CloudTrail can be stored on S3 bucket which can be analyzed from Athena to get better querying experience in terms of who / what / when / where the API was invoked.
