CloudTrail

AWS CloudTrail is a service you can use to log most of the activity within your AWS account. CloudTrail automatically maintains an audit log of all API calls for supported services in your AWS account, writing these logs to an S3 bucket, and optionally encrypting the data using KMS. It can be a good idea to enable CloudTrail in every AWS account, with the multi-region feature enabled, as the API call data is useful useful for troubleshooting, investigating security incidents, and maintaining audit logs for compliance.
