In this technical demonstration, you will learn how Amazon CloudWatch Events is used and how it integrates with Amazon EventBridge. You will first review a CloudWatch Event rule that will send a message to an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue. Next, you will see how to set up an EventBridge bus to integrate with a partner software-as-a-service (SaaS) application. Finally, you will view demonstrations, including a scenario with a sample producer or consumer application that uses EventBridge. The example scenarios will show integration of other Amazon Web Services (AWS) offerings, such as Amazon API Gateway, AWS Lambda, and Amazon CloudWatch Logs.
