This is the next lab in the series where we take a cursory look at using CloudWatch with Lambda.

I recorded this lab so that others might experience it in a more passive way if they so chose. This video is a straight shot with no editing whatsoever so you’ll get all my hims and haws.

This lab will demonstrate how to:

• Create a Lambda function
• Using Lambda, monitor the creation of an EC2 instance
• Create a Lambda function using the lambda-canary blueprint
• Configure a CloudWatch alarm to post a message to your SNS topic.
