Amazon DevOps Guru integrates with Amazon EventBridge to notify you of certain events relating to insights and corresponding insight updates. Events from AWS services are delivered to EventBridge in near real time. You can write simple rules to indicate which events are of interest to you and what automated actions to take when an event matches a rule. The actions that can be automatically initiated include the following examples:
+ Invoking an AWS Lambda function
+ Invoking an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud run command
+ Relaying the event to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams
+ Activating a Step Functions state machine
+ Notifying an Amazon SNS or an Amazon SQS

You can select any of the following predefined patterns to filter events or create a custom pattern rule to initiate actions in a supported AWS resources.
+ DevOps Guru New Insight Open

         ]
  }
}
