    Additional DetailsYou can view, filter, and download the most recent 90 days of your account activity for all management events in supported AWS services free of charge. You can set up a trail that delivers a single copy of management events in each region free of charge. Once a CloudTrail trail is set up, Amazon S3 charges apply based on your usage. You will be charged for any data events or additional copies of management events recorded in that region. In addition, you can choose CloudTrail Insights by enabling Insights events in your trails. CloudTrail Insights analyzes write management events, and you are charged based on the number of events that are analyzed in that region.Flexible pricing model with built-in economies of scale Consumption-based pricing Pay only for what you use with storage costs based on usage after dedupe and compression savings. Pay-as-you-go, no lock ins Too many vendors operate like ransomware. At HubStor, we don’t hold you hostage. There are no term commitments. It’s easy to get your data out and cancel any time. CAPEX and OPEX flexibility Our default is monthly invoicing in arrears, but if you prefer CAPEX we have discounted prepay models and predictable enterprise licensing options. Economies of scale and transparency Single-tenant customers have full visibility into the cloud costs and HubStor margin. As you scale up (or out), pricing sharpens with built-in volume discounts. No counting users, VMs, CPUs, or hosts for licensing With HubStor, you are subscribing to a platform which gives you access to all of the capabilities. If you decide to take advantage of other capabilities, there can be cost associated by way of additional compute and storage, but never is there any additional paperwork or arbitrary licensing cost.

    It is necessary to enable [AWS] Cloudtrail when using AWS in a production environment, otherwise you will not have any idea what is happening within your accounts. Third party monitoring applications will all require [AWS] CloudTrail to be enabled as well. I would not recommend it solely as a monitoring tool, to get the most out of it you must send the logs elsewhere. Either to Cloudwatch logs or a third party product.

    I think in the end, CloudTrail has more features and you can dive deeper inside the logs so it depends on your usage and what you expect in the end to make the right choice, I would say that both tools are really useful and bring a lot of benefits to I.T. companies.
