Cost-effective:
- CloudWatch: Best bet for monitoring AWS stuff, super cheap.
- OpenSearch: More for deeper log analysis, still cheaper than Splunk.
Ease of use:
- CloudWatch: Easiest, integrates seamlessly with AWS.
- OpenSearch: Requires some config and learning, like Kibana for visuals.
Features:
- CloudWatch: Basic monitoring, less security and compliance than Splunk.
- OpenSearch: Powerful search, needs plugins for extra security/compliance.
In short:
- Mostly just monitoring? CloudWatch FTW.
- Need deep log analysis? OpenSearch might work, but expect some effort.
