README
AWS Observability Labs
Six Terraform-driven AWS CloudWatch labs covering governance, dashboards & alarms, CloudWatch Agent, EMF/PutMetricData custom metrics on a Flask Orders API, dynamic Auto Scaling (target / step / simple), and Bedrock Claude AI log analysis rendered inline on a dashboard.
Purpose
A progressive series that tells one coherent monitoring story: how to go from a bare AWS account with no visibility to a production-grade observability posture with AI-assisted log analysis — every step in Terraform, every step deployable and destroyable in isolation.
The labs build on each other conceptually (not operationally — each lab is self-contained and owns its own VPC, dashboard, and alarms) so you can deploy a single lab to learn a specific technique, or walk the full arc:
**Govern → Observe → Instrument → Measure → Scale → Analyze**
The finance-domain framing is deliberate: Labs 02 / 04 / 05 / 06 wire a trading-system workload (DynamoDB `trade-executions`, Flask Orders API, financial-orders SQS queue, trade-processor Lambda) into the CloudWatch story so the demos are closer to the problems a real data-engineering or cloud-architecture client would bring.
