CloudWatch is a great service for metrics. You get tons of metrics out of the box and you can also create your custom ones. One of the most important things you can do with metrics is to create alarms, so how do we get the most out of CloudWatch alarms?
In this episode we share our insights and cover the different types of alarms that exist, how to create an alarm, what to do when an alarm is triggered, a few examples of useful alarms and some of the drawbacks of CloudWatch alarms and how to overcome them.

00:50 Different types of Alarms (standard and composite)
01:40 How to create an alarm
03:39 Some examples and use cases for CloudWatch Alarms

09:34 What to do once an alarm fires?
12:04 Example use cases for composite alarms
