Which AWS service should a security team use to automatically record and log account-level API activity across the AWS environment for compliance auditing?
AWS Config
Amazon CloudWatch
AWS Trusted Advisor
AWS CloudTrail
AWS CloudTrail continuously records account activity by capturing management and data events for every supported AWS service. The events are stored in an Amazon S3 bucket and can be queried to demonstrate compliance, investigate incidents, and perform governance audits. Amazon CloudWatch primarily collects and visualizes metrics and log data from applications, not detailed API histories. AWS Config tracks the configuration state of resources over time but does not log individual API calls. AWS Trusted Advisor provides best-practice recommendations on cost, performance, and security but likewise does not create an audit trail of API activity. Therefore, CloudTrail is the correct choice for comprehensive API logging and compliance auditing.
