Description
Getting a Lambda Function to be triggered by a CloudWatch Alarm requires one to create a SNS Topic and Lambda permission and wire them up correctly to the Alarm and Lambda function. These are boilerplate and feel like something we could shortcut so as to simplify the process of figuring this out. That said, I'm not sure what sort of barriers we want on the shortcuts we offer here. Any thoughts on if this makes the mark?
