AnyCompany acquired Example Corp and needs to integrate AnyCompany’s CloudWatch alarms for EC2 into Example Corp’s ticketing system. The ticketing system exposes an HTTPS endpoint that accepts tickets in a specific JSON structure. Which solution will enable CloudWatch alarms to create tickets at the external HTTPS endpoint with the least development effort?

The correct solution leverages EventBridge API destinations and input transformers for minimal development effort. EventBridge can directly receive CloudWatch alarm events. An API destination allows EventBridge to send these events to an external HTTPS endpoint. The crucial part is the input transformer, which enables direct reformatting of the event payload into the specific JSON structure required by the ticketing system without needing custom code. The other options involve more development effort. Using Kinesis, Lambda, and Glue (Option 2) introduces multiple services and custom code for transformation and sending. SNS (Option 3) cannot natively transform messages into arbitrary JSON structures for HTTP POST requests. Step Functions with Lambda and Glue (Option 4) also adds significant orchestration and development complexity compared to the direct API destination with input transformation.
