• Applications widget on the Console Home page
• myApplications that you can use to view application resource costs and security findings
• myApplications dashboard that provides a view of key application metrics such as cost, performance, and security findings

Features of myApplications

• Access your applications – You can quickly access any of your applications from the myApplications widget by selecting it.
• Compare application metrics – Use myApplications to compare key metrics for applications like cost of application resources and number of critical security findings for multiple applications.
• Monitor and manage applications – Assess application health and performance using alarms, canaries, and service level objectives from Amazon CloudWatch, findings from AWS Security Hub, and cost trends from AWS Cost Explorer Service.
