Feature request: Add event object sent from Cloudwatch Alarms

[jaydm26]

Use case

AWS has added a trigger for Cloudwatch Alarms that can trigger lambdas. Thus, it would be helpful to include this in the available data classes.

More on the event object can be found here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/AlarmThatSendsEmail.html#alarms-and-actions

Solution/User Experience

The required data classes are added to AWS Powertools

Alternative solutions

Acknowledgment

• This feature request meets Powertools for AWS Lambda (Python) Tenets
• Should this be considered in other Powertools for AWS Lambda languages? i.e. Java, TypeScript, and .NET

Hi @leandrodamascena

I would be happy to. Might take some time to implement it.

If someone takes it up before I take it up, go ahead. I will update the thread again when I begin.

I have opened a pull request (still on draft) for this, as I've already implemented something similar in my team. I'd be more than happy to hear your feedback/comments/opinions on the changes! 😃
