Challenge: Monitor APIs and set alarms using CloudWatch canaries

(upbeat electronic music) - [Instructor] In this challenge, I want you to create a Canary that tests the metrics demo serverless API that we have created early on in the course, and that has a post request that creates a new item. You also have to schedule this Canary to run every one minute. In order to get notified on issues, you also have to create an alarm that sends notifications whenever the number of failed Canary runs is more than five over a period of five minutes. Once you are done, join me in the next clip to go over the solution.
