Amazon CloudWatch Events: User Guide

This is official Amazon Web Services (AWS) documentation for Amazon CloudWatch Events. This guide explains how to use CloudWatch Events to create simple rules to match events in a near-real-time stream and route them to one or more target functions or streams. The target functions and streams can automatically take actions appropriate to the event triggers. You can also schedule automatic actions on a timed basis. This documentation is offered for free here as a Kindle book, or you can read it online or in PDF format at http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/cloudwatch/.
