What is AWS CloudTrail?

AWS CloudTrail is a powerful service that enables enterprises to monitor, record, and analyze their AWS account activity. By capturing and storing event logs, CloudTrail provides a comprehensive audit trail that can be used for security analysis, compliance, and resource management. Enterprise companies benefit from using AWS CloudTrail as it helps them maintain control over their AWS environment, identify potential security threats, and optimize resource usage.

What is Power BI?

Power BI is a popular business intelligence and data visualization platform that allows organizations to analyze and understand their data, making it easier to make informed decisions. With its intuitive interface and robust set of features, Power BI offers enterprise companies the ability to create interactive visualizations, share insights across the organization, and collaborate with team members. Power BI can connect to various data sources, making it a valuable tool for enterprises to gain insights from their data, ultimately driving business growth and efficiency.
