You can set up a CloudWatch alarm using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or SDKs. Here’s an example using the AWS CLI:

aws cloudwatch put-metric-alarm \
    --alarm-name HighCPUUtilization \
    --metric-name CPUUtilization \
    --namespace AWS/EC2 \
    --statistic Average \
    --period 300 \
    --threshold 80 \
    --comparison-operator GreaterThanThreshold \
    --dimensions Name=InstanceId,Value=i-1234567890abcdef0 \
    --evaluation-periods 1 \
    --alarm-actions arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:123456789012:NotifyMe
 

This command sets up an alarm named HighCPUUtilization that triggers when the average CPU utilization of the specified EC2 instance exceeds 80% over a 5-minute period.
