    Amazon CloudWatch monitors your Amazon Web Services resources and the
    applications you run on AWS in real time. You can use CloudWatch to collect
    and track metrics, create alarms that send notifications, and automatically
    react to changes in your AWS resources. CloudWatch provides a reliable,
    scalable, and flexible monitoring solution for your cloud infrastructure.

      description: >-
        Publishes metric data points to Amazon CloudWatch. CloudWatch
        associates the data points with the specified metric. If the specified
        metric does not exist, CloudWatch creates the metric. When CloudWatch
        creates a metric, it can take up to fifteen minutes for the metric to
        appear in calls to ListMetrics.
