I would like to be able to have alerts go right into SNS.

More generally, it would be cool if every account automatically got two free read-only SQS queues: one for events and one for upcoming events. Every known event (startup, terminate, permission change, network error, etc) could be published to the queue.

Not high-priority for us but the parent comment sparked the idea (I'm not in devops so maybe this exists via a different mechanism.)

These are both great ideas. I will share them with the team today. Keep them coming!

seems like realtime CloudTrail->{SQS,SNS} could satisfy his request and several that I have.

(instead of waiting for events to batch from CloudTrail to S3)

+1 on this.

We got the update on the EC2 reboots, but totally missed the RDS reboot information and as such suffered some downtime through the reboots on Friday (that we could have avoided had we known about it). It would be nice if the RDS console supported the "Scheduled Events" section that the EC2 console had.

Oh the possibilities! This would be super handy.

I'd add SNS support for non-US SMS notifications :p Then I guess I would not need Pingdom anymore.
