How do you configure CloudWatch to recover an EC2 instance?

Question

Keerthan Simha · Accepted Answer

To configure CloudWatch to recover an EC2 instance, set up an Auto Scaling group with a recovery policy that includes CloudWatch alarms. The alarm triggers an action when it detects issues (like high CPU usage or instance status checks failing), which automatically initiates instance recovery or replacement.
