What problem are you trying to solve?

We would like to be able to define a set of cloudwatch alarms for ec2 instance.

spec:
  cloudWatchAlarms:
    - alarmName: "HighCPUUtilization"
      alarmDescription: "CPU utilization is too high"
      metricName: "CPUUtilization"
      namespace: "AWS/EC2"
      statistic: "Average"
      period: 300
      evaluationPeriods: 2
      threshold: 80
      comparisonOperator: "GreaterThanThreshold"
      alarmActions:
        - "arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:123456789012:MyTopic"
      actionsEnabled: true

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-cloudwatch-alarm.html

Currently we have to do this independently with a custom solution of listening to new ec2 instances. I don’t like this approach because it separates alarm creation from the definition of Karpenter node pools/classes. It makes more sense for these to be managed together since the entity defining the node pools/classes has better context on which CPU or other metrics to target and when to trigger alarms.

I would be interested in contributing, although it will be my first time working on an operator so i would need a lot of hand holding.
