AWS Health Dashboard Specialized2016年〜
A dashboard showing AWS service status and events affecting your account
What It Does
AWS Health Dashboard displays AWS service operational status and events affecting your account. The Service Health Dashboard shows the status of all AWS services, while the Account Health Dashboard shows events impacting your specific account (maintenance, outages, security notifications).
Use Cases
It is used for checking the situation during AWS service outages, advance awareness of scheduled maintenance, reviewing account-specific security notifications, and automated incident response through EventBridge integration.
Everyday Analogy
Think of it like a train service status board. You can check the operating status of all lines (Service Health) and delay/suspension information for the lines you use (Account Health).
What Is Health Dashboard?
AWS Health Dashboard is a service for checking AWS infrastructure status in real time. The Service Health Dashboard (status.aws.amazon.com) publicly displays the status of all regions and services. The Account Health Dashboard is accessible from the AWS Management Console and shows only events affecting your resources.
Event Types and Notifications
Health Dashboard events come in three types. Issues are currently occurring outages. Scheduled Changes are planned maintenance. Account Notifications are security and billing-related notices. Integration with EventBridge lets you run Lambda functions when events occur for Slack notifications or automated recovery. For a comprehensive overview of event types and notifications, related books (Amazon) are a helpful reference.
Getting Started
Access the Health Dashboard from the bell icon in the upper right of the AWS Management Console. No additional setup is needed - it is automatically available for all AWS accounts. Integration with Organizations enables centralized management of health events across the entire organization.
Things to Watch Out For
- Health Dashboard itself is free. Programmatic access via the Health API requires a Business support plan or higher
- The Service Health Dashboard shows information common to all users. Check the Account Health Dashboard for impact on your specific resources
