What is Amazon Health?

Amazon Health provides ongoing visibility into your resource performance and the availability of your Amazon Web Services and accounts. You can use Amazon Health events to learn how service and resource changes might affect your applications running on Amazon. Amazon Health provides relevant and timely information to help you manage events in progress. Amazon Health also helps you be aware of and to prepare for planned activities. The service delivers alerts and notifications triggered by changes in the health of Amazon Web Services resources, so that you get near-instant event visibility and guidance to help accelerate troubleshooting.

All customers can use the Amazon Personal Health Dashboard, powered by the Amazon Health API. The dashboard requires no setup, and it's ready to use for authenticated Amazon Web Services users. For more service highlights, see the Amazon Health Dashboard detail page.
