AWS CloudTrail Getting Started

With AWS CloudTrail, you can keep a record of when activity occurs in your AWS account. That activity is recorded in a CloudTrail event. In this course, you will learn the benefits and technical concepts of CloudTrail. CloudTrail is an Amazon Web Services (AWS) service offering that helps you with enabling operational and risk auditing, governance, and compliance of your AWS account. Using CloudTrail, you can view, search, download, archive, analyze, and respond to account activity across your AWS infrastructure. CloudTrail helps identify who or what took which action, which resources were acted on, and when the event occurred. It also helps identify other details to help you analyze and respond to activity in your AWS account.

A nice base level explanation of what CloudTrail is and what it does. Nice extra in that it links in with querying CloudTrail from the AWS CLI.
