Question

On-call for an existing benefits site still executes runbooks by hand after CloudWatch alarms. How should auto-remediation be wired?

Accepted Answer

Route alarm events through Amazon EventBridge to invoke Systems Manager Automation documents that perform the approved remediation steps. — When the alarm already knows the fix, EventBridge should wake SSM Automation—not just a sleepy human or a public tweet. Turning alarms off is how disks stay full.

Answer

Page humans only and forbid any automated response even for well-understood disk-full style failures.

Answer

Disable the alarms that previously identified remediable conditions.

Answer

Post alarm text to a public social media account as the sole notification and remediation channel.
