/**
 * <p>
 * Amazon CloudWatch monitors your Amazon Web Services (Amazon Web Services) resources and the applications you run on
 * Amazon Web Services in real time. You can use CloudWatch to collect and track metrics, which are the variables you
 * want to measure for your resources and applications.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * CloudWatch alarms send notifications or automatically change the resources you are monitoring based on rules that you
 * define. For example, you can monitor the CPU usage and disk reads and writes of your Amazon EC2 instances. Then, use
 * this data to determine whether you should launch additional instances to handle increased load. You can also use this
 * data to stop under-used instances to save money.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * In addition to monitoring the built-in metrics that come with Amazon Web Services, you can monitor your own custom
 * metrics. With CloudWatch, you gain system-wide visibility into resource utilization, application performance, and
 * operational health.
