  "Description" : "AWS CloudFormation Sample Template MonitorEC2AndEBS: Create an EC2 instance running the Amazon Linux AMI with a new EBS volume attached. The Instance is configured for detailed monitoring. Both the instance and the volume have CloudWatch alarms configured to notify an email address of an operational issues. The AMI is chosen based on the region in which the stack is run. You will get a notification to the email address you specify indicating that a new email subscription has been created. **WARNING** This template creates an Amazon EC2 instance and one or more Amazon CloudWatch Alarms. You will be billed for the AWS resources used if you create a stack from this template.",
