What tools from a devops service like AWS can help a tester to aid their testing efforts?
Off the top of my head I know that you can setup metrics, alarms and monitor logs in case of an issue to better understand how the system is working.
But is there anything more to it?
I read somewhere AWS has an inspector tool for security related testing, can you summarize is it about?

Are you looking for a solution to a problem you don’t have yet?
Changing that perspective to the problem first can help you identify what are the possibilities.

Testers on AWS usually use X-Ray to trace, Logs Insights to debug quickly, and CloudFormation/CDK to set up temporary test environments.
AWS Inspector is just an automated vulnerability scanner for EC2, Lambda, and containers. It finds obvious CVEs and configuration risks.
