12. Create CloudWatch Alarm (for CPU Utilization
 To validate that CloudWatch Alarm is working together with the ASG Policy, it should be penetrated. We used
loader.io web application to do the penetration test

Note: See attached file for the screenshots in each step.

Scenarios
Scenario 1 (High): CPU utilization breaches the alarm above or equal to the threshold of 20% (for testing
purpose only, default range is 50%-60%), it will add 1 capacity unit(s) for the period of 60sec up to
maximum capacity unit.

Scenario 2 (Low): CPU utilization breaches the alarm below to the threshold of 20%, it will remove 1
capacity unit(s) for the period of 60 sec down to the minimum capacity unit.

In order for us to hit the CloudWatch Alarm, we will use a penetration testing tool (loader.io) with this
