# Cloud Trace Service

Cloud Trace Service (CTS) records operations on cloud resources in your account. You can use the records to perform security analysis, track resource changes, audit compliance, and locate faults.

After you enable CTS and configure a tracker, CTS can record management and data traces of OBS for auditing.
