AWS Organizations integration
AWS Organizations is a service that allows you to centrally manage multiple AWS accounts under a single entity. Site24x7 enables seamless monitoring of all linked accounts within your AWS Organizations, providing actionable insights to enhance cloud efficiency.
Use case
Integrating your AWS Organizations with Site24x7 provides real-time insights into your organization's account structure and helps maintain its reliability, performance, and security.
Consider a scenario where a business manages multiple AWS accounts under a single organization for various teams and departments. Without a centralized view, managing these accounts becomes a challenge, especially when ensuring compliance and monitoring resource usage.
With Site24x7's integration, all accounts—both Site24x7-integrated and non-integrated—can be easily viewed, grouped, and managed effortlessly. This grouping of accounts helps in streamlining resource management and improving visibility.
