# AWS CloudWatch Alerts Generator
This tool automatically generates CloudWatch alarms for common AWS infrastructure components such as EC2 instances, ECS services, RDS instances, and Application Load Balancers (ALBs).
## Features
- Automatically detects running EC2 instances, ECS services, RDS instances, and ALBs in the specified AWS region.
- Creates CloudWatch alarms for the following metrics:
- EC2: CPU Utilization
- ECS: CPU and Memory Utilization
- RDS: Free Storage Space
- ALB: HTTP 5xx error count
## Prerequisites
- Go (to compile and run the tool)
- AWS CLI (configured with appropriate permissions)
- AWS SDK for Go (dependencies are imported in the code)
