Monitoring AWS Health Events

Monitoring AWS Health Events

Every so often, infrastructure in an AWS availability zone (or region) breaks down or a bug is discovered with a service. When this happens, AWS sends a notification to affected accounts and an email to the account owner. That’s pretty useful if you are the sole owner of an account, but what if you need those emails to reach multiple users? You could always forward them, but that requires action on your part. Instead, let’s take you out of the equation by setting up a system that will automatically forward those health notifications to a group of users.
