Visualization
Alert, report, and measure visualizations are the final steps of our workflow: finally, we need to provide insights to users. The fastest way to build a powerful user interface for a user is to reuse the Grafana framework. We have already implemented a Grafana service in Chapter 8; in the next section, we will start using the Amazon Managed Grafana service.

Before working with Grafana, we must fulfill a prerequisite: we need to add the final operator (a user) to our security system. From IAM, click on Users and then Manage workforce users:
