Alarm Management in Amazon CloudWatch

Alarm Management in Amazon CloudWatch involves creating, managing, and responding to alarms based on predefined metrics and thresholds. Key features of CloudWatch alarm management include:

• Metrics Monitoring: Continuously monitors AWS resource metrics such as CPU usage, memory utilization, disk I/O, network traffic, and custom application metrics.
