What is the AWS Console Mobile App?
The AWS Console Mobile App provides mobile access to a select set of your AWS resources directly from your smartphone or tablet. You can monitor your account status, view CloudWatch alarms and dashboards, and perform basic actions for supported services without opening a laptop.
The app is particularly valuable for on-call situations and incident response. When a CloudWatch alarm triggers, you can immediately check the status of your resources and jump directly to the relevant view via push notification. Functionality is intentionally limited to a subset of AWS services and varies by platform (iOS/Android).
