Microsoft Teams is increasing in popularity across many teams nowadays. It has become a primary means of intra team communication for many technology teams. So it becomes useful if operational teams use Microsoft Teams as an alerting mechanism too. It will be useful if these dev or ops teams, who spend a good amount of time on Teams application, also get alerted about any deployed application events, on the same platform.

In this post I will be describing one of the ways to get application level alerts on a Microsoft Teams channel. As AWS is the most popular cloud platform now, I am taking example of sending AWS Cloudwatch alerts as messages to a Teams channel instead of an email.
