You can create a CloudWatch alarm for your builds. An alarm watches a single metric over a period of time that you specify and performs one or more actions based on the value of the metric relative to a specified threshold over a number of time periods. Using native CloudWatch alarm functionality, you can specify any of the actions supported by CloudWatch when a threshold is exceeded. For example, you can specify that an Amazon SNS notification is sent when more than three builds in your account fail within fifteen minutes.
