9 Manually Configure CloudWatch Agent on EC2 | AWS Monitoring Setup via Console + SSH

Описание: In this follow-up to my CloudFormation IaC demo, I show how to manually launch an EC2 instance and configure the CloudWatch Agent using the AWS Console and SSH.

This is the real-world, hands-on version — perfect for learning what Infrastructure as Code (IaC) automates behind the scenes.

✅ What You’ll Learn:
Launch an EC2 instance from the AWS Console

Connect to the instance via SSH using a key pair

Install and run the CloudWatch Agent

Use the config wizard to collect CPU, memory, and disk metrics

View real-time data in CloudWatch Metrics

✅ This method was done inside my development account under AWS Organizations, showing the manual process before automation is applied.
