In Serverless360, an alarm is a logical container in which you configure all kinds of monitoring rules. Once you've done that, you can map artifacts you want to monitor to that alarm. In other words, to create an alarm in Serverless360, we will perform the following steps:

1. Create an alarm: Give the alarm a name, configure the type of the alarm and how notifications should be transmitted to stakeholders
2. Map artifacts to the alarm: Associate the artifacts that should be monitored with the alarm

Both steps are described in more detail next.
