# Introduction:
as-apply-alarms was created to easily apply alarms to anywhere from one to a number of Amazon Auto Scaling Groups. The tool applies alarms for CPU Utilization. as-apply-alarms will run "out of the box" however the intent is rather to provide a template (and the logic) for managing multiple Auto Scaling Group's alarms.
# Directions For Use:
#
## Example of Use:
#
as-apply-alarms -d auto-scaling-group-name -t name-of-sns-topic
-
the above example would apply alarms to the Auto Scaling Group named <auto-scaling-group-name> and if any of these Alarms enter state "Alarm" would send a message to "name-of-topic."
#
## Required Parameters:
#
as-apply-alarms requires the following two arguments:
-g <auto-scaling-group-name> - the name of the Auto Scaling Group for which you wish to apply alarms.
-t <name-of-topic> - the name of the sns-topic where Alarms should be sent.
#
## Optional Parameters:
