AWS CloudFormation, Amazon CloudWatch, and AWS Config comprise three services that can drive operational excellence. AWS CloudFormation can be used to create infrastructure templates based on best practices, and provision resources in an orderly and repeatable fashion. Amazon CloudWatch can be used for monitoring metrics, collecting logs, generating alerts, and triggering responses.  AWS Config can assess, audit, and evaluate the configurations within AWS environments and trigger remediations when necessary. Following from the Shared Security Model, it is critically important to properly configure cloud services. Configuration guidance can be found in the Architecting for HIPAA Security and Compliance on Amazon Web Services whitepaper.

Other services and features that support the three areas of operational excellence are as follows:
